Description
"Comparative Education" brings together leading scholars in a textbook that demarcates the changing boundaries of the field, delineates significant developments in theory, and documents major shifts in educational policy and practice around the globe. The book's first section establishes the theoretical and methodological framework for viewing the changing international and national contexts of education from political, economic and cultural perspectives. The second section explores principal issues related to governance, such as centralization versus democratization, and public versus private education; equality of educational opportunity, especially pertaining to women; and the respective roles of different levels of education in modernization and change, putting literacy and adult basic education at one point of the continuum and higher education at the other. The third section documents the potential and limitations of educational reform movements in different regions of the world.
