`For those who want to wallow in the past - this is a comfortable
book that sets one's own experiences in context. For those who will
still be working into the next century, here are the issues we must
face as leaders. For those PhD and EdD students seeking topics to
research, there are all the controversial issues here that still
need investigation and it has a stunning list of references - a
roll call of all the great and the good in the last 25 years of
educational administration' - International Studies in Educational
Administration The book is a challenge to everyone concerned with
the present and future state of public education in the UK and the
rest of the developed world.The issues are of special concern to
those who are expected to provide leadership in schools and
colleges and for those with public and political responsibilities.
How should our conception of learning and its contribution to a
Learning Society be defined? How can education and other aspects of
social care and nurturing enhance our lives as people, irrespective
of our `performance' capabilities? What is the role of teachers who
also `manage' learning? This book contributes formatively to
current debate. What can educationists do about the `discontinuous
changes ` which threaten parents and professionals alike? Must
education submit to the `stranglehold of economic rationalism'? It
is hoped that this book will assist all those working to promote
education's humane and learning aspirations in society.
