Shaping the future of education with a clear plan for a national Board of Education.
This work presents a thorough look at how England could organize and reform its schooling system, from secondary to technical and to local administration.
Written to inform public debate, the book surveys the ending of an old era and lays out a path for unified, more effective education. It uses Wales as a case study to show how local government, funding, and inspection could work together to raise standards while protecting local needs.
- A centralized Board of Education to coordinate secondary, elementary, and technical education.
- Practical ideas for registering teachers and schools, and for inspecting education quality.
- Ways to fund new and restructured schools, including local rate support and Treasury oversight.
- A careful balance between local autonomy and national guidance, with attention to Wales’s experience.
Ideal for readers of education policy and reform, administrators, and anyone interested in the evolution of public schooling.
