16-19
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 pro-
gress 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.
