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)
