ABSTRACT
Education has remained constantly in the public eye in the post-war years. Indeed, education has been extensively discussed in the media. In the 1950s and the 1960s, debate focused on the structure of schooling, key issues being whether grammar schools should be abolished and the comprehensive school system adopted. At the same time, demands for a more scientifically and technically qualified workforce prompted calls for a new structure of higher education based on colleges of advanced technology, polytechnics and new universities.
