Tracing Education Policy: Selections from the Oxford Review of Education by David Phillips (University of Oxford, UK)

This book brings together key articles that trace the development of British education policy since 1975 and provides a valuable route map to developments within education policy during this period. It includes twenty-six seminal articles from the Oxford Review of Education written by many of the leading authors in the field and covering issues and topics with a wide significance beyond Britain.

In one, easy-to-access place, this authoritative reference book provides a collection of articles that have made an important impact on policy studies and cover a broad range of significant policy issues, including:

  • equality in education
  • school effectiveness
  • special educational needs
  • school choice
  • fourteen to nineteen education
  • the structure of the educational system.

The book has been compiled by the current editors of the journal to show the development of the field, and their specially written introduction contextualises the selection and introduces students to the main issues and current thinking in the field.
