Description: "Recent educational reforms have raised standards of achievement but have also resulted in growing inequalities based on gender, 'race' and social class. This book reports detailed research in two secondary schools showing the real costs of reform in terms of the pressures on teachers and the rationing of educational opportunity. It will be important reading for any teacher, researcher or policy maker with an interest in equity in education."--Jacket.
