Abstract

TLRP is the UK’s largest research programme in the social sciences and has provided coordination for 700 researchers in some 70 project teams and almost 20 initiatives of cross-programme thematic analysis. The first projects began empirical work in 2000 and the last project is presently expected to end in 2011. The total budget in the year 2009 had risen to £ 43 m and drew contributions from a wide range of UK government bodies. However, the programme is managed by the Economic and Social Research Council. TLRP is thus a very clear example of a large scale reform project designed to have an impact at a system-wide national level. Indeed, since devolution of powers was agreed in 1998, it is more appropriate to think of the UK as comprising four national education systems—England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. TLRP has contributed to the development of provision in each country and within all major educational sectors. It has also been significantly concerned with enhancing the quality of educational research within the UK.
