- This sole-authored book reports an extended personal research endeavour that spanned several years. The study addresses fundamental questions about the value and costs of education (across the compulsory sector and higher education). It engages with a complex set of research and policy texts that are international and inter-disciplinary including, in particular, economics, sociology, political science and psychology. This large body of material includes primary and secondary analysis of a range of quantitative data including official statistics, some of which are not available to the public and require security-controlled access.
