Can You Teach Happiness?Friday 31 October 2003
Is the increasing emphasis on test results squeezing out the time available to teach pupils about the things in life that make them happy, like relationships and home life? Or is this something that parents not schools should be teaching children?

Nel Noddings, Professor Emeritus of Education at Stanford University, Vivian Hill, Educational Psychologist from the Institute of Education and Katie Ivans, vice chairman of the Campaign for Real Education join Martha to discuss whether happiness should be an aim of education?

'Happiness and Education' by Professor Nel Noddings is published by Cambridge University Press; ISBN: 0521807638
