'AT LAST, A BOOK ABOUT THIS MOST VEXED PART OF THE CURRICULUM WHICH IS OBJECTIVE, HONEST AND RESEARCH-BASED. These two well-established authors have done what even supposedly neutral writers of official reports have been unable to do and this is because they emerge as having only one 'axe to grind', namely what is best for the students and the country.
discusses clear arguments for the analysis of the politics and resourcing of 14-19 education through a realistic perspective.
Up to date policy information. Helpful for PGCE (PCET) and sociology of education.
A really good book with excellent research. This book allowed students to explore contemporary issues whilst applying knowledge in a hisorical context.
I found this helpful for my Teaching Assistant students that are supporting in the 14-19 age range. The students borrowed the books and said they found them helpful.
This book gives a good basic knowledge about the history, policy and practice in education between 14-19 years old. Furthermore the book gives suggestion how to support the young students in this age group. Thank you.
Whilst it pre-dates the election of the new Coalition Government, it still comprehensively covers many issues in 14 to 19 education.
I am recommending this book to my initial teacher trainers because it gives a clear analysis of the politicsand an historical perspective of recent development in the 14-19 sector.
For all of those new and experience teachers in the lifelong learnng sector finding themselves teaching this younger age group, whether the new Diplomas or a wide range of other courses, this is a very useful text.
As usual Lumby write an excellent text. This should be an extremely useful text book in the changing educational climate.
