Book Description
First published in 1992, 16-19: Changes in Education and Training explores the context and background to the demand for reform in 16-19 education and sets out in broad and structured terms an agenda for change. It also considers specific initiatives and developments which in different ways can be seen as vehicles for achieving change and assesses the possibility of significant progress in relation to the agenda for action in the face of competing financial claims and a shifting political agenda. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of school education, higher education and education in general.
