6. INDEPENDENCE OR ABSORPTION?
POSITIVE ASPECT NEGATIVE ASPECT
A successful strategy of
independence required a
novel and clearly
understood curriculum that
would be attractive to the
potential clientele of the
schools, but in fact these
remained elusive. What the
STSs demonstrated in
practice was that although
they were separate
institutions, they were far
from independent of the
ideals and assumptions that
were widely held about
different kinds of curriculum.
They could not fully
eradicate the image of the
educationally inferior junior
technical schools of earlier.
It is expensive to establish
and maintain as separate
institutions, were unable to
gain widespread support.

7. THE CASE OF
THE TVEI
POSITIVE
ASPECTS
to promote technical
and vocational
curricula within
existing secondary
schools.
The impact of
curriculum reform on
educational change
at a systemic level,
and its influence in
improving, even
galvanizing, the
practices of
particular schools.
NEGATIVE
ASPECTS
grammar school
curriculum continued
to be dominant even
within these
changed
organizational
arrangements of
schooling .
It aroused strong
suspicions among
teachers and
educators that it
would undermine
educational interests
and values.

8. CTCS AND
EDUCATIO
NAL
CHANGE
POSITIVE
FEATURE
NEGATIVE
'to provide a broadly-based
secondary education with a strong
technological
element
They would only directly involve a
very small proportion of secondary
school and pupils.
The character of the particular
schools in generating particular
kinds of curriculum change
seems an important variable.

9. TEACHERS AND CURRICULUM REFORM
The role of the schools has been important in helping to
determine the impact of curriculum reforms.
In practice, however, it was soon found that the
curriculum reforms of individual teachers and
departments in particular schools would not by itself
produce change throughout the education system.

10. The experiences of these differing strategies may
suggest that the contradictions
inherent in curriculum reform, the inbuilt conservatism
of the 'grammar of
schooling' and of inherited cultures, are too
intractable to allow for radical
educational change over the longer term.
“If you improve a teacher's self-esteem, confidence,
communication skills or stress levels, you improve
that teacher's overall effectiveness across the
curriculum.”
