Interventions in Education Systems draws on research conducted in
England, Mexico, Singapore and Finland to illuminate reform
processes to education systems in a range of contexts, to develop a
better understanding of intervention processes and to promote the
development of more sophisticated models for reforming education
systems. The authors compare policy implementations and
interventions in countries with different socio-economic profiles
and different levels of development, highlighting how these
processes in practice all too frequently are side-tracked and
distorted, often unintentionally, by political, economic and social
forces.
Education in Mexico, Central America and the Latin Caribbean
examines the development and practice of education in Mexico, Costa
Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti,
Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. The chapters, written by local
experts, provide an overview of the structure, aims and purposes of
education in each of these ten countries with very different
socio-economic backgrounds. The authors present curriculum
standards, pedagogy, evaluation, accountability and delivery,
discussing both how the formal systems are structured and how they
actually function. The volume explores the origins of proposed
reforms and their implementation, emphasising the distinctiveness
of each country and attempting to locate new practices that could
lead to better education. Including a comparative introduction to
the issues facing education in the region as a whole and guides to
available online datasets, this book is an essential reference for
researchers, scholars, international agencies and policy-makers.
