Description

Explore the complex dynamics of educational planning with The Politics of the School Curriculum from the Routledge Library Editions: Education series. This volume examines the fundamental question of who selects the content that makes up a society's cultural curriculum. By analyzing the shift in curriculum control that began in the 1970s, this book provides a deep look into the changing power structures within education. It addresses the tensions between teachers, the Department of Education, and local education authorities regarding who should hold authority over what students learn. This text is an essential resource for understanding how curriculum planning has evolved from an uncontroversial process into a subject of significant debate and political scrutiny.
