Fall in Line

(Nielsen UK, Dec. 4, 2017)
Amidst a corrupt education system, built on a ‘one size fits all’ mantra, Jaiyana Stone has realised her strength comes from standing up for what she believes in… and she’s fighting back.Jaiyana stands toe-to-toe with the newly appointed Head of Education and orchestrator of the NSEM, Fabian Clarke. Fabian’s tyrannical rule means Jaiyana and millions of school children’s GCSEs will be replaced with NSECs, qualifications gained after one initial exam deciding the rest of their lives. If you’re deemed Elite or Special, you have every chance of a quality education and a university degree. If you’re unlucky enough to be considered a mere Worker, or worse: Moderate, you can say goodbye to education at 16. Sounds perfect, right?Before it’s too late, Jaiyana tries to form a plan to topple Fabian before he can dismantle the future of an entire generation. After all, all students are equal… but are some more equal than others?
