Description

As a teacher in an inner-city school, Lucy Crehan was exasperated with ever-changing government policy claiming to be based on lessons from ‘top-performing’ education systems. She resolved to find out what was really going on in the classrooms of countries whose teenagers ranked top in the world in reading, maths and science.

Cleverlands documents Crehan’s journey around the world, weaving together her experiences with research on policy, history, psychology and culture to offer extensive new insights into what we can learn from these countries.

About the Author

Lucy Crehan

Lucy is the eldest of 5 children and the daughter of two headteachers, so it surprised no-one that she chose to work in the education sector. She studied Psychology and Philosophy at Oxford for her undergrad degree, then spent a year working with autistic children before teaching for three years in a secondary comprehensive school in South West London.

What was slightly less predictable (and worrying for her mother) was that on the completion of a Masters degree, she then chose to travel around the world to research this book, staying with strangers, and ending up in hospital twice. Lucy has also been working as a freelance education consultant/researcher for the past three years, most recently writing a 40,000 word report on teacher career structures across the world for UNESCO (which makes the task of writing her book seem less daunting!).
