Reviews

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the methods deployed in the growing `datafication' of education at ever younger ages and the consequences of this national and international trend, with the authors combining vivid examples and incisive critique of a powerful human technology. Emeritus Professor Peter Moss, UCL Institute of Education No sector of society appears to be escaping the rapid proliferation of data-based technologies of control and surveillance. In this insightful book, Bradbury and Roberts-Holmes comprehensively demonstrate that Early Years and Primary education is no exception. This book recognizes the need to initiate critical conversations about the current (mis)uses of data throughout schools and education systems. It also offers some perceptive ideas about what might be done differently ... a must-read for anyone concerned with the future of schools and schooling. Neil Selwyn, Professor in the Faculty of Education, Monash University, Australia
