This is a key textbook for Education Studies that provides an
insight into some of the issues and dilemmas that currently face
education both from a UK perspective and internationally. Section 1
considers whether reform changes have really been for the better,
with chapters on academies and the privatisation of education;
standards and testing; and the choices for parents: public or
private education for their children.Section 2 looks at issues
concerning marginalization and education. Here authors focus on
faith schools; inner city education; and two studies on the
marginalization of white working class children and those from a
Romany background.Section 3 considers pressing global issues. The
first chapter looks to Europe to explore social pedagogy and looked
after children. Another chapter considers the impact of AIDS in
Southern Africa in an attempt to draw out lessons for the reader
concerned about education at all levels. The final chapter seeks to
evaluate the US policy No Child Left Behind. In each chapter issues
are introduced to the reader and explored from a critical
perspective. Full pedagogical features such as case studies, boxes
for further reading and key questions are given throughout, making
this text an engaging course companion for scholars of Education
Studies.
