Bringing Down the Educational Wall studies the causes of educational expansion in a global sample of developing and developed countries from 1960 to 2005. The book explores how the interaction between the economic context of nations (economic development and inequality) and political factors (the type of political regime and the ideology of dictatorships) influences countries' educational outcomes. The book's main contributions are the exploration of ideological differences between autocratic regimes and the tracing of changes in different parts of the income distribution, which accounts for education expanding to broad sectors of the population. Bringing Down the Educational Wall introduces a new database on the ideology of dictatorships and uses quantitative methods and case analyses to test its theoretical arguments. This work will help students in comparative politics and political economy courses to develop their understanding of redistributive policies and the effects of political factors on the expansion of education.

This article draws attention to the vulnerability of looked after children in regard to poor general life outcomes such as homelessness. Poor educational attainment is identified as a contributory factor & information is provided on both cognitive (eg, GCSEs & other examinations) & noncognitive outcomes (eg, exclusions). Findings from the author's own research on the educational progress of individual children are also shown. These demonstrate that, unlike children in families, those in care do not do as well as predicted: ie, the experience of being looked after does not 'add-value.' Finally, the article assesses the British government's response to the circumstances identified above & the progress being made against the performance targets set. 3 Tables, 1 Figure.
