Underpinned in the stream of thought named 'communitarianism',
Reforming Education in Developing Countries argues that developing
countries need educational reforms that are tightly entwined into
their cultural, social, and organizational contexts. It questions
the applicability of neoliberal reforms in developing societies,
through an analysis of the main elements of neoliberalism in
education. It highlights the critical role of the community and
suggests new and alternative lines of thought for the practice of
reform initiation and implementation in developing countries. The
book criticizes major neoliberal ideas in education, illuminates
the distinctions between current neoliberal reforms and the
characteristics of traditional societies, analyzes major
educational ideologies in the developed world, and emphasizes the
key role of local communities in this world. It proposes a dynamic
model of reforming education in these countries that includes three
major phases and integrates both modern and traditional
(indigenous) educational purposes and values. Evocative ponderings
are outlined throughout the book to promote critical thinking and
reframing of educators' views towards educational reform and
change. This book will be of great interest to researchers and
students in the fields of educational leadership, educational
policy, educational change, comparative education, political
science, and sociology. It will also appeal to educators,
supervisors, and policymakers.
