I cannot think of a better guide for students, teachers and researchers. * Matthew Clarke, Chair Professor in Education, York St John University, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThe inclusive education chapter is one of the best I have seen. * Anne Ferguson, University of Glasgow, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis book has always been well received by a number of academic tutors in teacher education. This book offers interesting analysis of education policy and fits nicely into modules that look at the nature of the curriculum in this country including policy\/statutory review and changes. This book also allows you to see many of the bigger ideas associated with a curriculum and this serves to extend student perspectives on a curriculum, leading them into more political and social justice spheres. * Claire Morse, University of Winchester, UK *\u003cbr\u003eDoes exactly as the title suggests ... This is an excellent book for those attempting to understand education in light of recent policy initiatives with a critical lens. * Kamal Ahmed, University of Cumbria, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements 1.
