Military Out Of Schools
The armed forces visit a significant proportion of schools in the UK each year. They offer school presentation teams, youth teams and 'careers advisors' and lessons plans. The Government's 'military ethos and skills' programme includes a number of initiatives including the expansion of cadet forces within state schools to encourage the military 'spirit'. Other developments could see schools being run exclusively by ex-forces personnel or sponsored by the MoD and the armed forces. Should the armed forces by given access to children within schools and colleges? Is the military's agenda and the development of a 'military ethos' appropriate within education?
