Throughout the world, equity and excellence in education is a major
issue of concern. International comparative studies such as those
carried out by OECD (PISA) have launched a worldwide debate on the
effectiveness of educational systems (macro level), schools (meso
level) and teachers (micro level) in terms of enhancing equity and
excellence. Inspired by the OECD research and spurred by national
policy-making, quantitative and qualitative research studies have
recently been conducted in different parts of the globe aiming to
provide deeper insight into the crucial variables that have an
impact on equity, excellence or both. Among the variables that have
been identified as crucial in this respect are the pupils' gender
and their socio-economic and linguistic background, teachers'
expectations, cognitions and pedagogical approach in the classroom,
parental support, financial aspects, educational policies (e.g.
priority policies, multilingual policies, early start policies),
and variables related to the structure of the educational structure
and system (e.g. compulsory school age, comprehensive systems,
support structures, system variables enhancing spread of learners).
This volume aims to compile a rich collection of research-based
contributions, providing a state-of-the-art resource on what we
know about this topic today.
