Whilst there are many examples of successful and innovative practice in Scotland, the system is quite often not recognised as different by writers who talk about the UK education system as if it were one smooth whole. This book describes recent developments in both legislation and practice in Scotland, drawing comparisons with the Eng system. Chapters cover: * administration and management * the professional competence of teachers * early years education provision * the 'National Curriculum' in Scotland * Secondary Education * Special Educational Needs. 606 $aEducation and state$zScotland 606 $aEducation$zScotland$xEvaluation 615 0$aEducation and state 615 0$aEducation$xEvaluation. 676 $a370/.9411 702 $aClark$b Margaret Macdonald. 702 $aMunn$b Pamela$f1956- 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476800603321 996 $aEducation in Scotland$92261991 997 $aUNINA
