Education has changed much, especially during the last decade.
This comprehensive reference offers a systematic overview of
developments in educational policy and practice around the world.
The editors have selected roughly 30 representative countries, many
of which are significant because of their power and population.
Each chapter, written by an expert contributor, treats educational
reform in a particular nation. The chapters place educational
reform within philosophical, historical, political, social, and
economic contexts, and the consideration of common issues makes
this volume a valuable source of comparative information.
The contributors employ a uniform approach throughout the work.
The issues discussed in each chapter include the impact of economic
development, educational expansion, literacy movements, achievement
levels, pedagogic and curriculum reform, minority groups and women,
public and private education, and the role of the State. The final
chapters examine several significant trends in greater detail.
Educators and policy makers will rely on this book as an
indispensable reference tool.
