| | Control and Conflicts in Welsh Secondary Education 1889-1944 (ISBN 0708308147)
`Overpowered and outnumbered as it was from the beginning, the anglicization of Welsh education was inevitable, concludes the author...His account of developments between the 1889 Act, which established a distinctive system of `higher grade' intermediate schools, to the Butler Act of 1944, which sought to impose a selective tripartite pattern alien to the spirit of the Welsh nation - dedicated to the cause of y werin, the common people - is exhaustively documented and impeccably selective in its use of a wide range of sources...it remains absorbingly readable throughout and, in view of the frustrating controls and bitter conflicts with which it is concerned, admirably neutral in its judgments...' (British Book News)
`This is certainly the most sophisticated history of a Welsh educational topic yet to be published, both in the detailed use it makes of public records, and in the acuteness of its political and social analysis.' (Welsh History Review)

Education and Social Justice (ISBN 0-7083-1619-0)
The Changing Composition of School and its Implications
Stephen Gorard
h/b pp264 September 2000
Many commentators see a crisis approaching in British education. The prevailing view seems to be that educational participation and performance in Britain have become more and more polarized in the 1990s. Education and Social Justice provides a wide-ranging and original reappraisal of the issues of quality and justice in British education and comes to the conclusion that there is much to be lauded about the standard of education in Britain which is, in turn, leading to greater social justice.

| | Education, Culture and Society: Some Perspectives on the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries (ISBN 0708311326)
This is a time of dramatic change in Welsh education. The year 1991 saw the Secretary of State for Wales give notice that he will assume control of all education in Wales for the first time. Furthermore pupils, teachers, parents, governors, schools and local education authorities are still coming to terms with the implications of the 1988 Education Act. It is a highly appropriate moment, therefore, to invite comment on past and present developments in education from representatives of colleges, local authorities, the inspectorate and the schools on some of the major issues which confront educationalists in Wales and beyond. Seventeen notable experts have contributed essays to this volume, sponsored by the University of Wales Faculty of Education, in honour of J. R. Webster, to mark his retirement as Professor of Education at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth.
`. . . a fascinating collection of essays which are wonderfully varied in their interest and appeal.' (Oxford Internship Model)
