Abstract
The chapter provides a brief overview of the contents of this book on Life in Schools and Classrooms: Past, Present and Future. It refers to the importance of this topic for better understanding the process and outputs of education and schooling, provides a rationale for how the book is organized with regard to its division into sections and subsections and examines the interrelationship between research, policy and practice concerning life in classrooms. In addition to this volume being a contribution to the field of study in its own right, it is also intended as a Festschrift to celebrate the research and publications of Professor Maurice Galton, University of Cambridge.
