Inequality and Flourishing: A Theology of Education

Mariama Ifode-Blease
SCM Press, 2022, xi + 232 pp, pbk. £22.99

Mariama Ifode-Blease sets out asking how secondary education
for the 93% of children attending English state schools can be
successfully re-imagined. How might success be measured from a
theological perspective, in terms of the flourishing of each student?
It is an ambitious project, not least because of the disruption and
trauma of the recent pandemic on education and mental health,
but also the political and cultural forces impacting on young people
in Key Stages Three and Four (11- to 16-year-olds).
