This is the fourth edition of the best-selling guide to Scottish Education. Significantly revised and updated, this 4th edition reflects the considerable changes that have taken place in education in recent years, taking account of a wealth of new research evidence. Featuring 60 new authors, the latest volume contains fresh, forthright and informed commentary on every aspect of education and is essential reading for anyone concerned to know how education 'works' in Scotland. It examines educational practice and professional thinking from pre-school and primary, through secondary, further and higher education; and locates Scottish education within its social, cultural and political context.

Media Reviews

'An impressive and informative volume... containing up-to-the-minute information on the state of Scottish education, excellent analysis, critique and self-questioning.' (British Journal of Educational Studies) 'A compendium which provides a complete overview of the Scottish education system. In all, this is a book even bigger than the sum of its parts.' (Education in the North) 'The appearance in late 1999 of the monumental Scottish Education met widespread acclaim within and beyond the education community... The third edition is a worthy successor. It demonstrates the same massive scale, and the same encyclopaedic coverage... there are numerous chapters where the level of analysis is impressively high, which are models of lucidity, perceptive and stimulating, and well (in some cases, elegantly) written.' (Times Education Supplement)
