Education and Social Justice

“. . . highly important and a significant contribution to educational research  . . .  This is all fascinating stuff and makes a surprisingly coherent whole.” –TES

“In this lovely book Stephen Gorard exposes much of that bad research and illuminates the way in which it receives prominence . . . He writes engagingly and accessibly and his exegesis makes for a good, if disturbing, read . . . a very important book.” –British Educational Research Journal

“This book is both interesting and provocative . . . an important book in two respects. First, it challenges a number of misapprehensions and damaging misrepresentations of Welsh education. Gorard’s defence of Welsh comprehensive schools is especially robust. Second, this book should certainly be included on reading lists for education research methods courses.” –Educational Review
