Abstract:
The substantive issue at the heart of this thesis is identifying the key changes in science and
mathematics mandated by the state, in upper secondary academic education, and seeing the extent
to which these are translated into school praxis, through the perspectives of management and
teachers and, of equal importance, through the organisational and structural reforms taking place at
the level of the school. The reform process is regarded as a complex social phenomenon and like
all top-down educational change has a history of being robustly resisted at the school site.
