Pullman on Open University

Posted on May 9, 2009 by Kinders

Philip Pullman is quoted briefly in an article on the value of the Open University: “[The OU is] one of the last remnants of the impulse towards real social inclusion and betterment that underpinned the welfare state. Nothing like it could ever be created today, and so much the worse for today.”
