The past decade has seen radical changes in our education system. Never before has education been so embroiled in political debate, and this topical book reveals what is happening - and why - in our schools. A new and fierce argument is raging, every bit as fundamental as the Comprehensive v. Grammar school debate of the 1970s. The curriculum, national tests, our teaching methods and the way schools are organized have been fought over by warring armies of government, political parties, teachers and pressure groups. In this book, Michael Baker guides the reader through the maze of the argument, explaining what is really happening in our schools today.
