This book completes the series of readers for the Open University's
undergraduate course EU208 Exploring Educational Issues. It brings
together informed writings from a variety of research paradigms.
One of the major themes of the book is the current controversy over
early years education. It explores the nursery voucher scheme, the
relationship between school and parents, the goals of education,
and how quality can be controlled. The book also examines issues of
inequality in terms of class, race and gender, and offers readers a
chance to re-evaluate themselves and their children within new
frameworks of thought, practice and policy.

It is not only the UK education system which has recently undergone
a process of change, although it has certainly been one of the most
dramatically affected. Free market conceptions have played their
part in these changes, particularly throughout the European Union.
This collection therefore focuses on the economic and social
contexts for education both in the UK and internationally, and how
these have had an impact on the education systems of different
countries. The authors write from a wide range of standpoints, some
supportive and some critical of the new paradigms, but all focus on
the traditions which have been subjected to ideological attacks,
and in the processes and outcomes of those attacks.
