Originally published in 1990. The rapid decline in the birth rate
in the 1970s and the resulting fall in school rolls had a dramatic
effect on the curriculum, staffing, organization and management of
schools. This book focuses on the national and local politics
surrounding school closures, amalgamations and the replacement of
sixth forms with tertiary colleges. The author illuminates the
changing politics of education through an analysis based on
research in LEAs including Birmingham and Manchester. He explores
the roles of central government, local education authorities and
the politics of increased parental choice. The book shows how spare
capacity in schools captures the political struggle between those
concerned to protect the post-war tradition of educational
opportunity for all and the New Right who want to seize the chance
to place schools in the market place, expanding consumer choice and
public accountability.
