Roles, Rights, and Responsibilities in UK Education

Top scholars systematically explore roles, rights, and responsibilities of major participants in UK education: the government, the educators, the learners, and the parents. They investigate the inequalities produced by their current arrangement and look into how changing these arrangements might lead to different outcomes for all involved.

"This book is both timely and highly insightful, capturing a range of perspectives and reflections on roles, rights and responsibilities in education. It is engaging and thought-provoking highly recommended for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the complexities of the UK education landscape." - Andrea Creech, author of Active Ageing with Music: Supporting Wellbeing in the Third and Fourth Ages (2014), and Reader in Education, University of London, UK
