Equality and Power in Schools: Redistribution, Recognition and Representation

The authors ofEquality and Power in Schoolsargue that promoting equality in education involves addressing the issue of power and its use and abuse. This book's findings are based on a radical study of twelve schools over two years that not only sought the opinions of teachers but actively encouraged pupils to participate by giving their views too. This book seeks to redress the balance with the authors concluding that creating a more egalitarian learning environment involves participation in the exercise of power.
