SUMMARY. 1963‐93 is a paradoxical period for British education. The drama of change was clear to see and vivid to experience. The opening years of high optimism and expansion were followed in the seventies by questioning and concern which led in the eighties to an unprecedented application of national control. But whether children and young people are getting a better deal in 1993 than in 1963 remains an open question.
