Two driven high school Traveller students are eager to teach their teachers about the benefits of traditional nomadic learning. Little did they know - their learnings are not only useful but in a global pandemic, may be essential.
School for Nomads is a modern parable spanning half a century of mainstream educational experiences from the 1970's right up to the present day. Told through the voices of three young people, it follows the course of education over half a century and what has changed and what still needs to change in the present and future.
Funny touching and heart rendering the book highlights previous generations of students who were powerless to effect change in schools. The fictional characters Martha-Rose and Margaret, represent current students who will not be ignored or excluded simply because the education system finds it too difficult to accommodate them and all they bring to it.
School for Nomads is both an authentic take on the education system from a Traveller students perspective and a rallying cry for change that will benefit both students and educators across the world.
