London Review of Education

In November 2005, the London Review of Education published a special issue entitled "There's more to learning than earnings: policy reflections and research findings on the wider benefits of learning". This issue is based on work presented at a conference in September 2004 to celebrate the first five years of the Centre for Research on the Wider Benefits of Learning's programme, and to introduce the next three-year research phase.
