Professor Gus John, University of Strathclyde, UK

On the face of it, there is not one thing in the Green Paper (THE LEARNING AGE - A RENAISSANCE FOR A NEW BRITAIN) with which most responsible citizens could be expected to have major disagreements.

Black education experts are comparing the drug testing policy with exclusion figures showing African-Caribbean boys four times more likely to be expelled from school than their white counterparts.
