Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Examines education and social change in Scotland through analysis of a unique series of historical social surveys.
MoreLong description:
Scotland developed a series of educational surveys between the late-1940s and the early-21st century that allow the country?s experience of education to be studied in systematic detail. No other country has an archive of this length and depth. The surveys include evidence on pupils? curriculum, attainment, subjective experience of school, and destinations after leaving school, as well as details of their social characteristics and of the secondary schools which they attended. By linking also to archival evidence on the histories of schools, the book?s analysis investigates the interplay between deliberate policy and wider social change. The transformation of education in this period is accompanied by equally important economic restructuring which has led to unprecedented changes in the way that education relates to lifelong opportunity in the twenty-first century. The book investigates how these changes have underpinned Scotland?s civic values, and have contributed fundamentally to shaping the debate about the country?s constitutional future.
