First sentence: Commonly held assumptions about the role of education are now in question due to the economic, cultural, and social transformation of pos-industrial societies.
Description: Education aims to establish the social study of education at the centre of political and sociological debate about post industrial societies. It looks at major changes which have taken place in the late 20th century and at educational policy.
