Description: During a recent stay working at the Centre for Policy Studies at King's College London I had the opportunity to examine close at hand and in depth the education policies of all the major parties contesting the 1997 election in the UK. This paper will outline key differences and similarities between the competing political manifestos. More importantly, it will provide a commentary on their reception and on their potential now that the government has been decided. The extent to which these policies might foreshadow educational developments in Australia will be addressed. Finally, the implications for educational policy research in what may or may not be a "new time" will be drawn out for discussion.
