High levels of cynicism about politics, fuelled by a lack of
understanding of the real dynamics of policy and the political
process, are dangerous to democracy. So argues Benjamin Levin in
"Governing Education." With this book, Levin seeks to improve
public understanding of the way government works, especially with
regard to education policy.
Based on his experience as Manitoba's deputy minister of
education from 1999 to 2002, Levin offers an insider's account of
the events and conditions that governed Manitoba's educational
policy as a way of illustrating the larger dynamics of the
political process. He demonstrates how the actions of governments
are rooted in diverse political demands, and looking at the current
state of education and education policy in Canada, comments on its
strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.
Levin's unique combination of informed analysis with real
stories of real events told by participants provides an incisive
exploration of government in action. While based on events in
Manitoba, the same dynamics and conditions apply across the
country. This book will have strong appeal to people in education,
political science, and public administration.
