Highflyers Publishing - Simple soloutions for careeers professionals
David Andrews has been a leading national figure in careers education and guidance for the past 20 years, speaking at conferences, running training courses and providing advice and consultancy to a range of organisations, including the national Government. In this new book David has written an authoritative history of the development careers education in schools in England, from its origins in the middle of the 20th century to the present day. At a time when the Coalition Government has decided to remove from schools the statutory duty to provide careers education in the curriculum, David presents a critical examination of the current issues and options for the future. The book also includes comparisons with careers education policy and practice in other parts of the UK and in Ireland, and case studies of the leadership, management and delivery of careers education in a range of schools.
