Description

By 1982 the ambitious claims made for newly established comprehensive schools were being put to the test. This volume examines how effectively comprehensive schools meet the needs of all young people, whether urban working-class students enjoy more success than in secondary modern schools, and if they experience greater engagement in learning with higher self-esteem. The book explores issues of social mobility and cohesion, curriculum design, the balance between academic and vocational education, the place of exams in the educational system, and the influence of independent schools on comprehensive education. A critical analysis of comprehensive schooling's impact on students and society during a pivotal period of educational reform and evaluation.
