Opis

First published in 1982, this work is a critical survey of contemporary educational debates and themes which took on new urgency and importance at the time. 

It argues that trends in education at the time can be explained by a Marxist analysis. It suggests that the changes taking place in schools and colleges were expressions of the contradictions of capitalism and of the state’s attempt to restructure education.
