Synopsis
Education has experienced a very rapid process of change in recent years, and this appears to have affected all sectors of education. There have been changes in the organisation of schools and colleges, and innovations in the delivery and monitoring of the curriculum. Vocational education and training have experienced change, particularly with the introduction of a competence-based system. These changes have affected not only institutional managers, but individual teachers and lecturers who have had to manage the process of transition. This book explores a range of case studies by educational practitioners working in different sectors of education, including schools, further education and higher education. An international dimension is provided by contributors from both the UK and Australia.
