Description

Law and Education: Regulation, Consumerism and the Education System analyzes the important and often controversial legal and related policy developments of recent years, which are transforming the education system of England and Wales. The author explores the central themes of regulation and consumerism through the discussion of key areas such as individual choice of school, the government and autonomy of educational institutions and control of the schools system. Current issues in family law are also addressed, in particular the public-private divide and child autonomy.
