| Research Abstract |
This study intends to clarify how secondary education in England has been changing through focussing specialist schools. How are those schoois growing their numbers, how would they contribute to the 'Raislng Standards' poiicy, and to what extent are they performing their roie to their communities? SDecialist schoois are regareded as imDortant parts oi the "Raising standards" poiicy, according to our analysis of the secondary perlormance table of 2000, their results of external examinations were relatively good but not so good as had expected, although there has siili been expectaiion for improvement. We should remark the government seems to emohasize technical or vocationai aspects in order to deliver diversity of secondary education.Some English researchers argued their relalively good results were not explained by iheir designation to specialist schools and we might look for another reasons.Generally speaking, specialist schools have not great services to their surrounding communities with some exceptions. We should not make rash decision about effects of specialist schools in spite of thelr relative success, and must deiiberately watch the develoning process of modern-ization of secondary education in England.
