Parents and Educational Reform in the UK.
Wikeley, Felicity; Hughes, Martin
International Journal of Educational Reform, v4 n3 p301-09 Jul 1995
Summarizes a study examining the impact of England's 1988 Education Reform Act on a group of 138 parents whose children (first-year students) would be most affected. The success of Britain's educational reform is debatable. Although parents are happy with their children's schools, they have reservations about governmentally imposed changes. (19 references) (MLH)
