Zusatztext 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. Informationen zum Autor Neville Harris is Professor of Law at the University of Manchester. Vorwort A second edition of Neville Harris' acclaimed monograph examining the state of education law in the UK, updated to include analysis of topical subjects such as free schools, the tackling of terrorism in schools and the 'promotion' of British values in schools. Zusammenfassung 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. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
