About this title

Synopsis

The essays in this book consider the extent to which Wales has developed its own educational agenda in a range of areas from primary schooling to higher education. The contributors also examine the limitations of that autonomy in relation to London and speculate about the ways in which devolved governance is likely to influence the nature of education policies in Wales in the future. Education Policy-making in Wales is a study of the emergence of education policies in Wales since the 1988 Education Reform Act.
