What does it truly mean to educate a gifted mind, and is the British education system equipped to do it? Educating the Intelligent presents a rigorous and provocative examination of how intelligence is identified, cultivated, and all too often squandered within conventional schooling structures. Michael Hutchinson and Christopher Young argue that the system, designed for the average, routinely fails its brightest pupils — outlining the psychological, social, and institutional forces that conspire against the intellectually able child, and detailing practical reforms that could transform their educational experience. Written with the clarity and conviction that defined the celebrated Pelican imprint, this work sits firmly within a tradition of mid-twentieth-century social critique that dared to question establishment orthodoxy. Hutchinson and Young draw on educational psychology and sociological research to build a compelling case, illustrated with observations that remain uncomfortably relevant decades later. For anyone who has ever wondered why brilliance so often goes unrecognised — or worse, unrewarded — this volume poses a challenge that the education world has yet to fully answer.
