She outlines the origin and...

This book offers an historically informed discussion of the failure of the education systems in Britain to counter hostilities towards racial and ethnic minorities and migrants, which have escalated after the vote to leave the European Union, and left schools and universities failing to engage with a multiracial- multicultural society.

Governments in developed countries are still not clear about the relationship between the education of low attainers and the labour market. This book explores how those with learning difficulties are accomodated in a world economy where even low-skilled jobs require qualifications.

Until this book was published, most writing on special education was about specific disabilities and how to cope with them. This book, however, considers the broader context, looking at many problems for the wider system that have arisen through integration of special education within it. The book is international and comparative in its focus and includes much North American material and work by North American researchers.

As higher education has made deliberate strides in recent decades to become more inclusive and accessible, the number of students from non-traditional backgrounds has increased dramatically. There has been much study of the effects of higher education on previously underserved populations, showing that it can lead to higher lifetime income and higher status. But there has been little research on what happens to those students once they are in a university. This book fills that gap, taking a close look at this issue and drawing on case studies from the United States, the United Kingdom, and...

Effective schools? Effective for whom? Effective for what? Who in fact gains from the school effectiveness research and school improvement movements?

Effectiveness schemes can be bureaucratic and disempowering. This collection of essays - written by academics and practioners - mounts a challenge to the overbearing qualities of the school effectiveness and school improvement...
