Since the World Conference on Education for All (EFA) in Jomtien,
Thailand in 1990, the push for modern mass schooling has become a
primary focus of national education policymakers and researchers
around the world. The EFA declaration that grew out of this
conference served as a culmination of a century-long movement to
transform existing national educational systems into the most
comprehensive mass system of schooling ever devised.
Comparative education researchers have been studying both the
promises and the challenges surrounding EFA for decades, but in
comparative education research literature there is still neither
consensus on the impact that EFA has nor clearly identified global
trends in either EFA policymaking or policy implementation. It
seems that for every promise that EFA brings, there is an
accompanying challenge. It is this struggle between the global
promises and the national challenges that this volume of
International Perspectives on Education and Society seeks to
identify and explain.
Chapters range from critical syntheses of EFA policymaking or
policy implementation to original comparative education research on
the impact that EFA has had in specific nations or across clusters
of nations.
*Compares and contrasts the promises of EFA v. implementation of
