The history of the development of careers education in schools and a critical examination of policy, practice and possibilities for the future.

Detailed Description

In this 2nd edition book, David Andrews has brought up to date his authoritative history of the development of careers education in schools in England, from its origins in the middle of the 20th century to the present day. At a time when the Government’s careers strategy, based on the Gatsby benchmarks, is driving developments in careers work in schools, David presents a critical examination of current policy and practice.  Drawing on this analysis he ends with a chapter setting out detailed recommendations for securing the place of careers education in the school curriculum for all young people.

“We won’t be able to see a way forwards unless we are able to learn from the past. In this updated, second edition David Andrews does a brilliant job of tracing a hundred years of the history of careers education. He shows what went right, and what went wrong, and concludes by pointing us towards a better future.”

Tristram Hooley, Professor of Career Education, University of Derby
