Inequality in Education: Comparative and International Perspectives
is a compilation of conceptual chapters and national case studies
that includes a series of methods for measuring education
inequalities. The book provides up-to-date scholarly research on
global trends in the distribution of formal schooling in national
populations. It also offers a strategic comparative and
international education policy statement on recent shifts in
education inequality, and new approaches to explore, develop and
improve comparative education and policy research globally.
Contributing authors examine how education as a process interacts
with government finance policy to form patterns of access to
education services. In addition to case perspectives from 18
countries across six geographic regions, the volume includes six
conceptual chapters on topics that influence education inequality,
such as gender, disability, language and economics, and a summary
chapter that presents new evidence on the pernicious consequences
of inequality in the distribution of education. The book offers (1)
a better and more holistic understanding of ways to measure
education inequalities; and (2) strategies for facing the challenge
of inequality in education in the processes of policy formation,
planning and implementation at the local, regional, national and
global levels.
