Charles Handy lecture on Geoffrey Hubbard and the nature of school as an organization, and how it can be improved. Handy begins the article expressing reservations concerning the curriculum in traditional schooling, specifically what he indicates as the implicit curriculum. Handy notes that the implicit curriculum in the school setting comprises the initial molding for young minds outside of the family unit and provides the mental framework for professional life in organizations. He states that, because schools are so rule-bound and structured, they make it difficult for the pupil to realize his or her own potential. Handy therefore states that approaches to education need to be reexamined to allow for more flexibility, personal expression, and individuality, which would produce better-rounded, versatile workers in the organizations that require them.
