International statistical comparisons of nations have become
commonplace in the contemporary landscape of education policy and
social science. This book discusses the emergence of these
international comparisons as a particular style of reasoning about
education, society and science. By examining how international
educational assessments have come to dominate much of contemporary
policymaking concerning school system performance, the authors
provide concrete case studies highlighting the preeminent role of
numbers in furthering neoliberal education reform. Demonstrating
how numbers serve as 'rationales' to shape and fashion social
issues, this text opens new avenues for thinking about
institutional and epistemological factors that produce and shape
educational policy, research and schooling in transnational
contexts.
