Great Books - Episode 1

Description

SchoolsWorld and the NUT come together to reveal the top 10 books that have moved, motivated and melted the hearts of those involved in education.

An initial list of 40 books was published on the SchoolsWorld website in September 2007, with additional nominations later added by those browsing the site. A shortlist was then created, throwing up an interesting mix of fact, fiction, self-help and psychology.

In this programme, Selina Scott counts down the top 10 books whilst educational writer John Richmond offers a potted biography of each book and author. Comments posted on the website and interviews with those championing the winning entries are also featured.
