Few issues of national importance have received as much attention in recent years as education. Yet, for all the concern and rhetoric about the declining quality of our schools in a competitive world, there are surprisingly few hard facts about what makes good schools work and how to improve bad ones. The University of California Press is therefore pleased to announce the publication of the first significant research on the effect of primary schools in decades. Based on one of the largest surveys of primary school effectiveness ever undertakenthe researchers monitored the progress of nearly 2000 students in 50 British inner-city primary schools for four yearsSchool Matters not only shows exactly what goes on in primary schoolsit shows how they vary in their success and explains why.Among the many important and hopeful results: Schooling IS more important for pupils' progress than background. High expectations DO have an effect on pupil achievement. Schools CAN change. The report identifies 12 key factorsall within the control of the schoolthat lead to effective education. Effective schools increase the progress of ALL pupils.School Matters, the most important survey of what makes schools work since Rutter'sFifteen Thousand Hours, will be of immense interest not only to education specialists, but to policy-makers and the concerned public.
