It was passed against a background of war and growing popular demand for social reform. It provided a framework for the education service which remained largely intact for almost fifty years. Since 1988, however, with the introduction of a National Curriculum and competition between schools, the workings of the Act have been largely dismantled. In The Making of the 1944 Education Act, Michael Barber presents a lively evaluation of the Act - its background, passage and effect - fifty yearCassell education.Educational law and legislationGreat BritainEducation and stateGreat BritainEducational law and legislationEducation and state344.41/07 344.1047344.4107344.1047379.41379.41Barber Michael1955-1610034MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820183903321The making of the 1944 Education Act3996122UNINA
