In most countries in the world, school education is the business of
the state. Even if forms and functions differ, the imparting of
elementary knowledge is universally regarded as a public function.
Yet this is neither self-evident nor self-explanatory. The degree
of involvement of state agencies in the supervision, financing and
organization of the school system sometimes varies so much that the
usual assumption of a common understanding of 'the state' seems to
be an illusion. Making international comparisons and focusing
strongly on the historical conditions of the current form of state
education, this volume paints a nuanced picture of how the
relationship between 'education' and 'state' has been and is
conceptualized. Insights into this relationship are gained by
considering and analysing both specific processes such as financing
and bureaucracy; and conceptual ideas, for example community,
authority, and political utopias. The book presents comparative
studies and analyses of regional and local conditions, arguing that
the history of each country or region is critical to educational
success, and the relationship between the education and the state
must be reconsidered, both internationally and historically, in
order to be of actual conceptual value. Education and the State
presents a broad variety of approaches and examples that provide a
significant contribution to the understanding of the relationship
between education and the state. It will be of key value to
academics and researchers in the fields of the history of
education, the politics of education, and educational
administration.
