Education, Law and Diversity Summary

Education, Law and Diversity: Schooling for One and All? by Neville Harris (University of Manchester)

This new edition of Education, Law and Diversity provides extensive updated analysis, from a legal perspective, of how the education system responds to social diversity and how the relevant social and cultural rights of individuals and groups are affected. It spans wide-ranging areas of school provision, including: types of school (including faith schools), the school curriculum, choice of school, out-of-school settings, and duties towards children with special needs and disabilities. It gives extensive coverage to children's rights in the context of education and includes considerable new material on issues including relationships and sex education, exclusion from school, home education, equal access, counter-extremism and academisation. The new edition also retains and updates areas of debate in the book, such as those concerned with multiculturalism and the position of religion in schools. It continues to focus on England but also makes reference to other jurisdictions within the UK and internationally. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the legal and related policy issues surrounding children's education today.

Education, Law and Diversity Reviews

This is 'law in context' scholarship at its finest. ... It will be an invaluable tool for anyone undertaking research into any of the plethora of issues, debates and areas of legal practice covered here; for lawyers and non-lawyers alike. For child and family lawyers - for whom education law is still sometimes perceived as in some ways a marginal subject - it is not only an essential source but a reminder of the centrality of education in the lives of children and parents alike. It is also a reminder that education law disputes reveal and provoke the questions, and test to the limits the prevailing answers, about the fundamental nature of the relationships between parents, children and the state. -- Daniel Monk, Birkbeck, University of London * Child and Family Law Quarterly *
It is a fascinating read, informative and thought-provoking in equal measure, and - unlike a standard legal text - really repays a cover to cover read ... Education, Law and Diversity is as comprehensive as it is ambitious, easy to read despite being in-depth, and well structured and laid out in just nine (admittedly lengthy) main chapters. A real tour de force! -- Iain Nisbet * Journal of the Law Society of Scotland *
An important contribution to our collective understanding of the domestic enforcement of the right to education ... Overall, this is an excellently written and well-researched contribution, which contains a detailed examination of education law, policy and case law relating to the provision of education in England. This book is further characterised by a commendable scholarly rigour which sets it apart in terms of the detail and precision afforded to the examination of the legal development, and provision, of the right to education in England. -- Amel Alghrani, Seamus Byrne and Deborah Tyfield * Legal Studies *
