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.
