Gillies, A. Scottish Education. N2 - This detailed, informed and critical account of contemporary education in Scotland examines each of the main sectors in depth: early years, primary, secondary, further and higher education. It scrutinises the historical, cultural, political, and socio-economic dimensions within which schools, colleges and universities operate. Featuring 67 new authors and updated and expanded throughout, this fifth edition is so substantially updated from the previous edition as to practically constitute a new book.
The contributors have drawn on up-to-date research and professional analysis to give fresh insights into recent educational developments — in particular during the period from the Independence referendum in , through the complexities of the post-Brexit years.
AB - This detailed, informed and critical account of contemporary education in Scotland examines each of the main sectors in depth: early years, primary, secondary, further and higher education. Disaffection with schooling Jeannie Mackenzie it seems is always with us, and Ethos and Discipline by Pamela Munn provides a reassuring continuity throughout the three editions as we are asked once again, to imagine an English teacher meeting her class of 30 fourteen-year olds for the first time surely flagging by now.
In her revised chapter, Munn raises the interesting question of the language of indiscipline and the increasing reference to 'school violence' - even pointing out a whole journal devoted to this topic. Interestingly, the section devoted to assessment has been cut from 10 to five chapters.
The final section, called simply Future , is expanded from two to eight chapters, reflecting perhaps a preoccupation in our current age with uncertainty. This great big book reads like a who's who of Scottish Education - so much so that it must be difficult to find people who haven't contributed to it in order to review it fortunately I was available.
The editors, Tom Bryce and Walter Humes, are to be congratulated once again on bringing order out of - if not chaos exactly - then at least a recalcitrant mass, to produce a compendium which provides a compleat overview of the Scottish Education system.
