Cleverlands is essentially the story of one teacher’s journey across five high performing education systems. Fuelled on curiosity – and perhaps no little frustration deriving from her time teaching in the UK state system – Lucy Crehan spent two weeks in each of Finland, Japan, Singapore, Shanghai and Canada. She spent time ‘living with teachers, listening to parents and learning what education looks like in completely different cultures’.

She now works as a freelance education consultant and is conducting research for her second book.
