By 1982 the ambitious claims made for newly established
comprehensive schools were being put to the test. How effectively
does the comprehensive meet the needs of all young people? Do
urban, working-class students enjoy more success than in the
secondary modern schools? Are they more engaged in their learning
with higher self-esteem? This volume discusses these questions and
examines issues of social mobility and cohesion, curriculum, the
balance between academic and vocational education, the place of
exams in the educational system and the influence of independent
schools. The author asks whether a more decentralised system of
self-governing schools improve the education service a timely
question which along with the other issues examined is as relevant
and challenging today as when the book was originally published in
1982.
