Abstract

This article attempts to illuminate aspects ofchange in British primary education today throughEuropean parallels. The British systemsthemselves display many, though not close,similarities to European problems and practices,but they differ in detail, especially on issues suchas the speed and nature of change, on agegrading,and on the nature of rural problems. Internalorganisation of schools has been generally lessauthoritarian in Britain, though the advent of LocalManagement of Schools presents a challengewithout any direct equivalent. Meanwhile thereare precedents almost everywhere for a nationalprimary curriculum, though not for a coreandfoundationsstructure, nor for the introduction ofso complex a curriculum so abruptly. Mutualinformation about primary education underdifferent systems is desirable, but not easy tobring about.
