The Centre for Urban Education is hosting a personal visit and book launch by prominent forward thinker, international lecturer and President of the 21st Century Learning Initiative, Mr John Abbott.

He will be launching his latest book 'Overschooled but Undereducated'. This book looks at 'how the crisis in education is jeopardizing our adolescents'. His ideas challenge us to review our way of thinking about education and in particular, the way in which children learn.
