First published in 1982, this work is a critical survey of
contemporary educational debates and themes which took on new
urgency and importance at the time. In particular, it explores the
problematic nature of 'progressive education' and 'discipline'; the
changes in the labour process and youth unemployment; the nature of
the state and its relationship with schooling; the growth of state
intervention and the specific forms of discrimination suffered by
women and black people. It argues that trends in education at the
time can be explained by a Marxist analysis. It suggests that the
changes taking place in schools and colleges were expressions of
the contradictions of capitalism and of the state's attempt to
restructure education.
