Editorial Reviews
Review
The diverse array of essays successfully negotiate and explain the intricate complexities of London education without losing sight of the overall arguments. The volume would be useful both as an introduction to education in the capital for those researching or working in the area, and as a collection to dip into for the view from London on issues of national and global relevance. — Alice Bradbury ―
Educate Published On: 2008-09-01The authors hope that the essays will stimulate thinking among urban educators in the UK and internationally… They hope to stimulate research and debate. This collection of essays on educational issues in London should certainly achieve this, as well as being of interest to those who live and teach in London and those who grapple with similar issues elsewhere. — Margaret Camina ―
