Recenzii
"Estyn remains a unique institution. With the greatest breadth and depth of educational experience in any Welsh organisation, its challenge has always been how best to utilise its abilities to support the development of the Welsh education and training systems. This book provides a vital insight into the development of education and training in Wales and of the changing role of the inspectorate and Estyn along the decades. Most importantly it highlights, from a historical perspective, the challenges that remain in Wales and how, as we embark on a new phase of school education in particular, Estyn can support its development in tandem with its core role as ensuring accountability for standards."
