Description: The history of a major sectoral reform and its relationship to the wider government restructuring. It is based both on archival material and on interviews with many of the key figures of the period: Ministers, educators, public servants and sectoral representatives. The authors consider that the changes in education were as much a revolution from below as an imposition from above.
