First Published in 2004. The provision of effective career guidance
has been presented as the answer to economic and social problems in
young people, and has been seen by governments around the world as
essential in ensuring economic competitiveness and prosperity.
Policy discussions have centred on individuals' development of
'self-managed' careers within a global labour market, placing
employability skills above all other concerns. This book goes
beyond the rhetoric of careers guidance by exploring it from
critical and radical standpoints. The contributors question the
economic underpinning that has driven social inclusion agendas
around the globe, arguing that career education and guidance needs
to place greater emphasis on approaches that have a greater social
awareness and within a global context. They discuss career guidance
in consideration of a range of issues including social class,
'race' and gender and raise questions about the implications for
policy and practice. Essential reading for students, researchers
and academics and practitioners involved with careers education,
this book will help the reader to improve their practice through a
greater understanding of the theories and social and economic
contexts involved
First published in 2005, this timely volume challenges those who
see faith schools as contributing positively to the well-being of
society and responding to parent choice to think through the
implications of September 11 for our multi-ethnic and multi-faith
society without taking a position on the ultimate necessity of
faith schools. The authors conducted research in several
faith-based schools representative both of older religious
traditions in England and Wales, and of those which have been more
recently established. The focus was on state-funded faith-based
schools, but a range were visited to provide an overview of issues
facing all faith-based schools, as well as those specific to newly
funded institutions.
