Recenzje

"Six distinguished educationists are given an opportunity in this fascinating volume to reflect on UK schooling over the past 70 years. ... I would imagine that the volume will also be particularly useful for readers wishing to see the picture across this period from a whole-of-the-UK perspective. ...   it will be an indispensable resource on two ongoing questions. Who manages our schools? And who manages the managers?" (Dennis Richards, Church Times, February, 2019)
