Opis

Schools are a prominent part of contemporary society's formal organisation of education. The overriding expectation on education is to provide the young person with the tools to be successful in a dynamically ever changing world. As society changes so, too, does society's expectations of schools. State-maintained institutions, dependent on the state for their survival, are subject to the prevailing beliefs and values that drive the economic, political and educational systems through which society is organised.
