| Summary |
The UK's Conservative/Liberal-Democrat coalition government 2010-2015 were responsible for the some of the most radical changes to education policy for decades. "Beyond Every Child Matters" provides a critical overview of developments in education and social welfare policy in the years following the 2010 general election. It explores the conceptual background of a 'Big Society', used to frame Coalition policy and shows how the underlying spectre of neoliberalism creates both issues for policy attention and undermines ensuing policy solutions. This book charts those changes which have impacted upon education and schooling in England and Wales and is divided into two sections; Section 1 analyses Conservative philosophical thought and policy discussions that underpin the social, welfare and education policies introduced under the Conservative-led coalition government of 2010-2015 and subsequent Conservative administration since 2015. Section 2 looks at these policies in detail and concludes with a discussion of possible alternative policy approaches. Set against a backdrop of unprecedented economic crisis and austerity, this volume will be of interest to students of education and welfare policy, academics and researchers |
