Reviews of the first edition"This book must become the classic text
for students of education, social and welfare policies. Sally
Tomlinson, doyenne of policy-orientated education and social
research, has written with commendable clarity and
comprehensiveness a superb book on British education." - Journal of
Social Policy"This book provides a context for understanding
education policy which is currently missing from education and
social policy courses. It should be compulsory reading." - Len
Barton, Institute of Education, University of London"The
persistence and reinforcement of class advantage through English
education policy is a key theme... this book does a superb job of
both highlighting the key social justice concerns and controversies
over the last fifty years and providing an overview of education
policy developments over the same period." - British Journal of
Sociology of EducationHighly commended - S.E.S Book Prize 2002The
acclaimed first edition of Education in a Post-Welfare Society
provided a critical overview of education policy since 1945. It
demonstrated how a relatively decentralised education system became
a system in which funding, teaching and curriculum are centrally
controlled and privatisation encouraged, with education becoming a
prop for global market economy rather than a pillar of the welfare
state. The second edition continues the policy story up to 2005,
covering two terms of a New Labour government and their plans for a
third term. It also continues an examination of the relationship of
education policy to social class, race, gender and the economy,
paying attention to the educational disadvantages of some ethnic
groups and refugee children. The book includes chronologies of
education acts, reports and initiatives and summaries of major
legislation. This is an invaluable resource for all those concerned
with social policy and education, including educational
researchers, professionals and politicians.
