Primary school, secondary school, college/university and then what?

Does your academic performance really define you?

From the perspective of a current student at the University of Oxford, What's the Point of School raises questions about the UK education system and how it is failing to provide students with the real-life skills that they need for their lives beyond academia. How it guides students onto a set path through life using an outdated education system desperately in need of reform. How the concept of rote-learning for specific exam questions is doing more harm than good and limiting students' mindsets.

What's the Point of School contains an overview of the flaws in the ways several major subjects are taught at school, and highlights the skills and topics NOT taught in school, with each chapter comprising a series of key points.

It's time to reconsider whether the current educational system is fit for purpose in the 21st century.
