The State
and Educational Change: Essays in the History of Education and Pedagogy
Brian Simon 
In
this book Brian Simon, Britain's foremost historian of education, turns his attention
to the role of the state in education.
Part One 'Why should we teach
the history of education?' sets out to make a renewed case for the study of the
history of education by all those involved in the educational process - especially
policy-makers. Part Two is a series of historical essays, several of which deal
with the Victorian restructuring of education from the 1850s to the 1870s. Part
Three looks at twentieth century developments, including a chapter on comprehensive
education.
'This
collection brings together in a very convenient volume many of his key speeches,
addresses and articles, a very rich collection.'
