Media Reviews
Ambitious and eruditely written, this book is a myth-busting tour de force bringing together 20 years of evidence to tackle the most pressing issues in education policy and research. Andrew Wilkins, University of East London
Gorard has a habit of making his readers confront the unsettling facts of education policy in a way only a researcher of his calibre and insight can. Policy-makers, take note. Stuart Kime, Evidence-based Education
'Extends a growing body of critical evidence to inform policy and practice in education, with particular regard to inequalities and social justice. The book provides an expert voice and will appeal to policy makers, school leaders, teachers, students and higher education professionals as well as any individuals interested in the future of education. Feyisa Demie, Durham University
