This report will briefly sketch the characteristics of "evidence-based education policy" which New Labour has pursued since it took office in 1997 and the changing nature of the relationship between education policy and policy research. New Labour has made efforts to "modernize" schools and the teaching force so that academic standards could be improved. The government has required schools and teachers to adopt "proven methods"; consequently, this form of education policy could be called "informed prescription". The idea that education policy should be based on the findings of research will impact on what education research should focus on and how it should be carried out. At the present time, the quality of education research tends to be judged on the criterion of "relevance to practice". Among researchers, there are some who regard the definition of "practice" used here as problematic, and citicize the relationship between educational policy and educational research, describing this kind of research as "policy-controlled research"; they warn against the stress that researchers might feel under these circumstances.
