thesis
posted on 2018-08-07, 10:37 authored by Robert J. GarnettThis thesis examines some aspects of the relationship between central and
local government in the administration of school based maintained education
in England from the 1988 Education Reform Act to the point where the
government was about to pass the 2002 Education Act. Consideration is
given to the extent to which the local education authority (LEA) has become
an agent of central government and to the ability of local education officers to
influence the direction of policy implementation. The thesis is largely based
on qualitative studies in "Centralshire", a county council in the midlands and in
"Northall", a LEA in north London. [Continues.]
