Education without borders is divided into two sections relating to
the International Baccalaureate (IB) over a forty-year-period. The
first is a comparative study of the IB Diploma in Australia and
Canada. Drawing heavily on the work of Bourdieu, it argues that the
IB has become a provider of global cultural capital. It argues that
students adopt the IB as much for the cultural capital they acquire
as for its use as an entry point qualification to the worlds' most
prestigious tertiary institutions. The second section draws on an
innovative study on three primary schools in Montreal adopting the
IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). This book allows an opportunity
for critical reflection on what constitutes an international
curriculum and how various schools in Canada and Australia have
used this curriculum. It assesses the potential significance of
this curriculum model for all schools. Bagnall's innovative
research shows how important the choice of curriculum is to all
players in the education game. As Bourdieu (1993, p. 5) notes," ...
a feel for the game ... is not always ... obedience to rules." The
book will appeal to parents, teachers, researchers and students
alike.
