Items related to Pressure on Education
Pressure on Education confronts several lead themes in current educational change. Is the UK's education system failing to produce the skills the country requires?. Is there a problem with standards? Is it possible to discover the 'ideal' school? It argues that many of these themes are contradictory. Their conclusions in both theory and policy often work against each other. The overall message in current pressure for change is that the pursuit of quality overrides the pursuit of equality. The new paradigm is based on faculty arguments, some of which are embraced beyond the Right. The book traces the growth of cultural influences which have helped define the new paradigm, but also examines a wide range of data in the UK and other countries on standards, the of different training systems, the existance of skill deficits, reform in pedagogy the local government of education, and the relationship between education and social justice.
