The last quarter of the twentieth century was a very important
period in history of education. Beginning with the so-called 'Great
Debate', the period witnessed intense public and political interest
in educational issues, culminating in an almost unprecedented
amount of education-related legislation, the most symbolic of which
was the Education Reform Act of 1988. Some scholars have rightly
claimed that the education system was 'transformed' during this
period, pointing to major changes in the ways in which schools,
further education colleges and universities were organised, managed
and controlled. Others have claimed that these changes altered the
power relationships which had underpinned the education system
since 1944. Given the sheer scale and pace of the education-policy
related reforms of this period, this edited collection brings
together some of the leading scholars in education to reflect on
the major legislative and structural changes in education over the
past few decades. Published in the year of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of Callaghan's Ruskin College speech in 1976, it
provides a definitive contemporary history of education policy in
the late twentieth century. The editors bring together some of the
leading educationalists to reflect on the major legislative and
structural changes in the field over the last twenty five years.
The book will be of use to education students on undergraduate and
postgraduate courses, as well as students and academics working in
social policy.
