Comments on: What about pluralism for 16-18 year olds? https://economicpluralism.org/what-about-pluralism-for-16-18-year-olds/ PEP is promoting economic pluralism in teaching, research and analysis to support better policy to tackle economic, social and environmental challenges Mon, 04 Nov 2019 17:43:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.2 By: Nigel Cohen https://economicpluralism.org/what-about-pluralism-for-16-18-year-olds/#comment-1703 Mon, 04 Nov 2019 17:43:26 +0000 https://economicpluralism.org/?p=3680#comment-1703 In the UK at least, I suspect our efforts would be better directed towards universities. Our schools work in an environment that provides teachers with negligible scope to introduce new ideas. I really love the idea of it, but I have really struggled with motivating economic teachers to offer access to their students. It is possible with climate change, so should be possible with pluralistic economics.

I suspect quite a lot of groundwork needs to be done before we will get much change from efforts in this direction, at least in the UK.

I do this for a number of secondary schools in the area around the University of Greenwich.
