Description
Concerns about quality mathematics education are often posed in terms of the types of mathematics that are worthwhile and valuable for both the student and society in general, and about how to best support students so that they can develop this mathematics. Concerns about equity are about who is excluded from the opportunity to develop quality mathematics within our current practices and systems, and about how to remove social barriers that systematically disadvantage those students. This collection of chapters summarises our learning about the achievement of both equity and quality agendas in mathematics education and to move forward the debate on their importance for the field.

From the reviews:
"The editors have produced an extraordinary volume, speaking about equity and quality across a range of voices and issues within the landscape of mathematics education. . this is an extraordinary book. It is a book that should be recommended as a resource for a range of pertinent educational and policy-linked purposes across the globe. It is a collection which promises to be on so high a demand that university librarians will not hesitate to reserve it on 'short-day loan' shelves!"
