Description
This book surveys some of the key issues confronting secondary schools at the present time, and places them in the context of the recent history of English education. It examines the establishment of the secondary sector in the post-war years and the moves towards comprehensive reorganization. The curriculum initiatives sponsored by the Schools Council are also examined. A study of the rise of the "New Right" as a political force and of the prescriptions for secondary schooling provides the background for an analysis of the policy initiatives of the 1980s. The implications of recent legislation into the 1990s are also considered.
