KNYGA Fiona Millar The Best For My Child: Did the market really deliver?

In "Best For My Child: Did the market really deliver?" renowned author and journalist Fiona Millar delves into the complexities of education policy in Great Britain. Since the enactment of the 1988 Great Education Reform Act, concepts like parent choice, school diversity, and a quasi-market in education have shaped the landscape of schooling. This thought-provoking book critically examines whether these market-driven approaches have truly benefited schools and families. With 140 pages of insightful analysis, Millar questions the effectiveness of these policies: Are schools genuinely better? Is the system fairer for all? Do parents truly have the choices they were promised? Join Millar as she uncovers the seductive nature of these policies and their real impact on education. Published in 2018, this book is essential for anyone interested in the future of education and the ongoing debate surrounding privatization and school choice.
