Description

In doing so, it considers some thorny issues at the forefront of education policy and provision: The increasing competitive stratification within education systems ; The impact of governments who have put competition in the labour market at the heart of their policies ; Social control of potentially disruptive groups, social cohesion and the human rights agenda ; The expansion of a special education industry driven by the needs of middle class, aspirant and knowledgeable parents, anxious about the success of their 'less able' children. Written by an internationally renowned scholar, Ignorant Yobs?: Low Attainers in a Global Knowledge Economy synthesises a range of complex, highly topical issues and suggests how those with learning difficulties might, with government and employer support, contribute to a flexible labour market.
