Produktbeschreibung

A Generation of Radical Educational Change is an exploration of the revolutionary impact of the greater and continuing involvement of central government in education policy-making which began in 1976 and was accelerated by the 1988 Education Act and subsequent legislation. The main question it seeks to answer is how much teachers and their pupils have benefitted from the top-down Westminster-led control of policy held in place by a powerful national inspection regime.

It both explains and evaluates this impact through individual accounts from leading, esteemed practitioners from a wide range of sectors; from early years to universities, including:

• Local Education Authorities
• Ofsted
• Assessment
• The media

The combined reflections in this volume are timely in these years of lively educational debate as are the suggestions for future policy. A Generation of Radical Educatonal Change is an invaluable read for current and aspiring headteachers, policy makers and those with an interest in education policy and how it evolves.
