School and College, first published in 1976, is a comprehensive comparison of the diverse educational institutions attended by young individuals between sixteen and nineteen years of age. This study explores the various forms of education, including sixth forms, sixth form units, sixth form centers, sixth form colleges, school-college consortia, colleges of further education, and tertiary colleges. Each of these institutions was supported by different educational interest groups, who made assumptions about their respective advantages and disadvantages.

The findings of this research reveal that what was expected to occur sometimes did not materialize. Dr. King delves into the origins of the ideas behind each form of organization and examines the groups that propagated them. These ideas encompassed not only the structure of organizations but also the essence of education itself. He compares the policies with their practical implementation and concludes that significant changes may be necessary to meet the expectations of both students and educators.

This book holds immense interest for teachers and students of education and pedagogy, as it provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of educational institutions and the factors that shape their development.
