Recenzii

Education and Career Choice represents a refreshingly different take on the issue of student choice at the age of 16, mixing existing figures on participation and in-depth interviews with students at the time of making choices. Understanding more about this process of choice will be important for policy-makers and academics, in the UK and elsewhere, faced with widening participation and a 14-19 curriculum attempting to offer choice of both vocational and academic routes without creating a two-track system. - Stephen Gorard, Anniversary Chair of Educational Studies, University of York, UK
'...a well-written piece of research. It certainly comes to life and engages the reader when the author lets the students speak for themselves as they narrate their stories of decision making and taking...The end result is an erudite piece of research with a human face.' - Dione Mifsud, British Educational Research Journal
