Through a historical study of two very different pairs of European
countries, Glenn illuminates the debate surrounding educational
freedom and a State-controlled model. 'School Choice' is one of the
most hotly debated topics in educational policy. International
comparison makes it possible to gain perspective on the issue, and
this book profiles - historically and in current policies - two
countries which give most support to parental choice (The
Netherlands and Belgium) and two others which maintain a strong
State role in controlling education (Germany and Austria). Charles
L. Glenn has read extensively in Dutch, French, and German sources,
and brings to his analysis several decades of experience as a
government official in education. By comparing the Dutch model of
educational freedom with the similar though distinct Belgian model,
and contrasting it with the German and Austrian models - showing
how these differences took shape in the 19th century and persist
today - Glenn illuminates the policies behind these models, and
clearly lays out what we can learn from their strengths and
weaknesses. This is essential reading for policy specialists
concerned with models of school autonomy versus government control,
and the debates over parental choice of schools.
