Description
The authors of this study present a first-hand look at school reform in Great Britain. They show how the landmark Education Reform Act of 1988 imposed a radically new institutional framework on British education - a framework built on the same types of reforms that American activists have been proposing for years: school-based management, choice and accountability.
