Description
The 1944 Education Act provided the framework for the post-war education service, which remained intact until the legislative changes of 1988 to 1993. Michael Barber evaluates and pays tribute to the skill, diplomacy, vision for the future and incorporation of the political imperatives, which went into the creation of a durable piece of legislation. He argues that these qualities have been conspicuous by their absence since 1988.
