Book Extract; from DJ; Legislation introduced in 1981, gave parents inScotland stronger rights than their counterpartsin England and Wales to choose the schools theywished their children to attend. This importantbook analyses the events that led up to theScottish legislation, its implementation byeducation authorities and its impact on parentsand on the admission of children to schools. Itassesses the consequences of parental choice foreducational policy and considers the implica-tions of Scottish experience for legislation,introduced in 1988, which will give parents inEngland and Wales rights similar to those whichparents in Scotland have enjoyed for some time.Based on empirical data derived from an analysisof documentary sources, interviews withofficials, a survey of parents, observation ofappeals and an analysis of school admissionstatistics, the book concludes that the Scottishlegislation has not struck the right balancebetween the concerns of individual parents andthose of education authorities because itthreatens too many important policy goals, andpredicts that a detailed assessment of thebalance struck by the English legislation will leadto similar conclusions.Michael Adier is Senior Lecturer in Social Policyand a Member of the Centre for EducationalSociology at the University of Edinburgh.
