The editors have compiled this critical and comparative study of
changes which took place in the New Zealand education system in the
second half of the twentieth century. For other Western societies
who have felt the impact of New Right policies the New Zealand case
is interesting because it provides some indication of how policies
of decentralization in education might be used to develop
egalitarian and democratic educational policies. In recent years
there have been major changes to educational systems in the Western
world. Often these changes have been justified by reference to
successful educational practices in other countries. However, it is
not always possible simply to abstract educational practices from
one context and apply them in another successfully. Moreover claims
that policies in one country are more successful than those in
another have to be treated cautiously: there are always problems in
making valid comparisons between the educational performances of
different countries. It is important, therefore, that critical and
comparative studies are made of educational systems which take full
account of the contexts in which they are embedded.
