Summary:

This fourth edition of Scottish Education takes account of an important political milestone in Scotland's history, the Referendum in 2014 to determine whether the Scottish people seek independence from the rest of the United Kingdom. The text looks at that closely in the context of education, reflects on the very considerable changes which have taken place since devolution in 1999, and incorporates a wealth of contemporary research evidence and scholarly analysis. Featuring some 60 new authors, the latest edition contains forthright and informed commentary on every aspect of education and is essential reading for anyone concerned to know how education 'works' in Scotland. The final section looks to the future, offering thoughtful critical assessments of the educational landscape ahead, whether in an even more devolved Scotland or an independent European state. Reviewing the first edition, Olga Wojtas described it as 'an ambitious and formidable tome ... accessible to non-specialists ... [with] a sharp, critical edge' (THES). The second edition was said by Frank Pignatelli to be '... a text that is authoritative yet accessible, scholarly yet provocative, definitive yet iconoclastic' (TESS). Of the third edition, Gordon Kirk wrote '... there are numerous chapters where the level of analysis is impressively high, which are models of lucidity, perceptive and stimulating, and well (in some cases, elegantly) written' (TESS).
