Book Description
The reform process in the schools system of England and Wales founded on the Education Reform Act 1988 promised that the introduction of competition would result in enhanced power and choice for parents which would, in turn, lead to increased accountability of those delivering education and a consequent improvement in educational standards. This book considers, both from a theoretical perspective and in light of empirical evidence, the extent to which these promises have been fulfilled.

The Politics of Professionalism
Author: Gary McCulloch
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0826447988
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Many commentators feared that the Education Reform Act of 1988 sounded the death knell for teacher professionalism in Britain. More than a decade later, however, professionalism appears to have staged a miraculous recovery: David Blunkett says that 'it is back at the very heart of teaching'. But what kind of professionalism is this? In whose interest is its recovery. and what effects will it have? And how does this development relate to changes in edict countries and other professions? The Politics of Professionalism provides authoritative answers to these questions. It does so by setting the debates in their historical context and by drawing on detailed research findings on teachers' experience of work arid education, especially the curriculum, in the current era. In the process, this book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the politics, history and sociology of teaching and the other professions.

National Curriculum: National Disaster? looks beyond the classroom and discusses the way in which the infrastructure of school codes of conduct, the physical environment of school sites and the hierarchy of human resources within schools impact on the aims and reality of the National Curriculum.
