There is growing interest in education in inner cities and in how it can be improved. This book draws together a wide range of authors from the UK and the US to examine the following issues: How should city schools be improved? How should parents and communities be involved in schools? What external support do city schools need? Is an educational market with extensive parental choice the best means of raising standards? Why are inner city schools different and what problems do they face? What are the issues of school effectiveness research for inner city schools? Can education reform contribute to inner city regeneration? What are the needs of inner city teachers and how can they be met? The contributors represent a wide range of political views and their response to these crucial issues will stimulate debate and inform policy and practice.
