Michael Fielding looks at what the Labour Government has achieved since its inception in 1997 with its policy of "education, education, education". There has been widespread disappointment in New Labour's education policies, which on the whole have not steered too far wide of those put in place by Margaret Thatcher, including issues of marketization, testing and performativity. Michael Fielding has called on the key policy thinkers in education to offer their opinions on what has happened in education over the first three to four years of New Labour Government.
