At the controls of driverless cars, on the end of the telephone when you call your bank or favourite retailer: we all know the robots are coming, and in many cases are already here. Back in 2013, economists at Oxford University’s Martin School estimated that in the next 20 years, more than half of all jobs would be substituted by intelligent technology. Like the prospect of robot-assisted living or hate it, it is foolish to deny that children in school...

One director of learning calls for the subject to have a GCSE all of its own Why do we go to school? This isn’t just a question that children (or teachers) are prone to ask on a cold winter morning. It’s a philosophical question – a question about the point of education. Why do we do it?

Or rather, the squatters have been dubbed anarchists by the media; Ward was an anarchist of his own volition. It’s strange to think that a well-respected public figure such as Ward could be openly allied to anarchism, a tradition currently associated withruining the royal wedding or vandalising shops on Oxford Street. But the truth is,...

Having followed the latest debate about religion, I’d say the conclusion is obvious that the only thing as disturbing as the religious is the modern atheist.
