"Secondary Education" and the Rhetoric of Change.

Northcroft, David J.

Scottish Educational Review, v24 n2 p76-92 Nov 1992

Reassesses reformist "Report on Secondary Education" (1947) and ensuing effects on Scottish Education Department (SED) policies. Examines roles of administrators, teachers, and postwar values in Scotland's failure to realize report's calls for educational equality. Concludes that report, although energizing, was isolated in time and subject to limited perspectives. (TES)
