The last thirty years have seen unprecedented change in education. A field that used to be a backwater in terms of government policy has now become a central - and high-profile - priority in many countries around the world.
This book brings together key articles that trace the development of British education policy since 1975 and provides a valuable route map to developments within education policy during this period. It includes 26 seminal articles from the journal Oxford Review of Education, written by many of the leading authors in the field, and covering issues and topics with a wide significance beyond Britain.
In one, easy-to-access place, this authoritative reference book provides a collection of articles that have made an important impact on policy studies and cover a broad range of significant policy issues, including:
- equality in education
- school effectiveness
- special educational needs
- school choice
- 14 to 19 education
- the structure of the educational system.
The book has been compiled by the current editors of the journal to show the development of the field, and their specially written Introduction contextualizes the selection and introduces students to the main issues and current thinking in the field.

Industry Reviews
