Description
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.
Reviews / Votes
This book is full of resources for educational planners. It contributes ... very illustrative examples which illuminate both discussion of scholarship and planning, and the implementation of educational reforms. * International Review of Education * At a time when education policy makers around the world are increasingly reaching for off-the-shelf recipes for raising achievement, this book provides a timely reminder that every education system is unique. Drawing on unique case studies, the authors provide significant new insights into how educational policy and practice is developed in real-life settings. The book deserves to be compulsory reading for all those seeking to understand how to improve their own national education system. * Patricia Broadfoot, Professor of Education, University of Bristol, UK *More details
