Culture and Curriculum in England and Wales: Tensions and Dilemmas for Early Childhood Specialists.
Evans, Roy
Early Child Development and Care, v123 p61-88 Sep 1996
Deals with the vulnerable position of nursery education in 1990s Britain, given the changing nature of the family in society and particularly in view of nursery education's weakly articulated justification in the face of government intervention in education. Discusses current standards of evaluation (OFSTED inspections) and achievement and the future of nursery education in relation to self- and public perception. (MOK)
