{"product_id":"governance-of-schooling","title":"Governance of Schooling","description":"Recent reforms in the governance of schooling have affected roles, relationships and decision-making within schools and between them and the wider community. Using empirical and theoretical approaches this book describes, analyses and compares the effects of devolved management on secondary schools in a number of countries. It casts a critical light upon policy assumptions and aims, challenging assumptions about the way policy works in practice.\nThrough a comparative international perspective, which looks at countries including the UK and the US, the conflicting options for school governance are addressed. These include:\n*parental participation and school management policy\n*professional, managerial and market principles in education\n*school-based decision-making and the implications of overarching government policies\n*devolution and centralisation.\nThis is a timely study for practitioners in education, policy-makers in local and central government, academics and students of education policy and management.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235980562776,"sku":"9780415195379","price":235.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415195379_dde73058-2e61-4c09-a638-3a9c1a2b1605.jpg?v=1770165043","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/governance-of-schooling","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
