Description

This is a review of the early experience of implementing education reforms in education over the past five years. It focuses on the management issues which have arisen as legislative intentions have been translated into practice, and should be a useful reference work for education officers in LEAs, academics in education departments, headteachers in primary and secondary schools, and principals of further education colleges.
