Accountability in England and France: The Centralist Alternative?

Broadfoot, Patricia

Education Policy Bulletin, v10 n1 p55-68 Spr 1983

A comparative study of policies and practices for accountability in French and English schools is presented. Growth of central government influence and teacher autonomy are common elements. However, the constraints on teachers (formal in France and informal in England) do not necessarily cause more freedom or accountability in England. (MSE)
