Description

A national education system relies on effective policy, but the transition from theory to practice is often difficult. In Education in Spite of Policy, Robin Alexander examines the challenges that arise when ideology takes precedence over evidence or when government ministers attempt to micromanage teaching professionals. This book explores how media involvement can add further complexity to these educational processes. Drawing on his extensive background as a teacher, researcher, government adviser, and international consultant, Alexander provides deep insight into the mechanics of educational policy. This collection features selected works from his recent writing, including previously unpublished material. By utilizing over 600 published sources, the text offers a clear look at the forces shaping modern education. This volume serves as an essential resource for those studying the intersection of politics, social sciences, and teaching practice.
