Comprehensive Education in an Age of Uncertainty--Issues in the 1980s.
Watson, Keith
Forum for the Discussion of New Trends in Education, v23 n1 p14-16 Fall 1980
The author explores a number of issues which he feels will affect English schools, particularly comprehensive secondary schools, in the 1980s: standards (mixed ability teaching, testing, articulation); declining enrollment; parent/community participation in school governance; and external social change. Related trends in Europe and the United States are noted. (SJL)
