As someone who was directly involved in one set of reforms, I was intrigued by how much I had forgotten, or never known, about the detail of policy-making and implementation. But I was also deeply impressed by the way in which the authors, from very different perspectives, leave one with a much clearer understanding of how education policy has evolved in England; of major underlying shifts, many of which started well before 2010; and of how much, or little, future governments are likely to change direction. Highly recommended!\" - Professor Alison Wolf CBE, Sir Roy Griffiths Professor of Public Management, King's College London, author of Does Education Matter?\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"This timely collection offers an unrivalled range of perspectives on one of the most important Education ministers of the modern era.\" - Sir Anthony Seldon, Master of Wellington College and Fellow of King's College London, author of Schools United\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"[This book] does, however, help you to see Gove as others understood him and that's a good thing. Mike Finn has selected his authors well and edited to perfection.
