Contents The uneven development of comprehensive education in Scandinavia, Germany, and England -- The conglomerate education system: the integrative role of the state -- Social class formation and educational participation -- Liberal politics: the early beginnings of comprehensive education -- Social democratic politics: the advancement of comprehensive education -- Comprehensive education consolidated -- Conclusion
Summary This book traces national policies behind the efforts of integrating education systems in Europe. In some regions of Europe, such as the Nordic countries, a high level of social integration was achieved by introducing radical comprehensive education systems. By contrast, in countries such as Germany and England, comprehensive education either failed almost completely, or was only partially implemented. Based on a wide-ranging historical analysis, this book offers the first fully comparative explanation of the divergent development of comprehensive education in Europe
