Education And The Struggle For Democracy By:Carr, Wilfred,Hartnett, Anthony Published on 1996-03-01 by McGraw-Hill Education (UK) During the past decade there has been a series of radical changes to the educational system of England and Wales. This book argues that any serious study of these changes has to engage with complex questions about the role of education in a modern liberal democracy.
