In many countries the school curriculum oscillates between focusing on traditional subjects and focusing on skills that are linked to the needs of the 21st-century digital age. Rosamund Sutherland argues against such a skills-based curriculum, maintaining that, from a social justice perspective, the priority of schools should be to give young people access to the knowledge that they are not likely to learn outside school. She draws on the work of Michael Young, Lev Vygotsky, Amartya Sen and David Olson to develop new theoretical and practical insights that offer ways of changing policy and practice to improve equality and life chances for young people, while acknowledging the potential transformative role of digital technologies. This timely book will be invaluable to teachers, academics, students and policy makers interested in the ways in which the digital landscape transforms the nature of the debate about equity and social justice in education.

Sutherland, Rosamund: - Rosamund Sutherland (1947-2019) was Professor of Education at the Graduate School of Education, the University of Bristol. Her research was concerned with teaching and learning with ICT, young people's use of digital technologies outside school, and mathematics education. She led a wide range of research projects funded by the ESRC, and collaborated with colleagues in Latin America, Europe and Africa. In this book she brought together the previous strands of her research, with a particular focus on social justice.
