Publisher Description:

International and Comparative Education offers detailed and wide-ranging illustrations of the ways in which comparison can illuminate our understanding of contemporary education systems by exploring issues in relation to specific educational sectors, from early-years and primary schooling, through to further, adult and higher education.

Key areas and debates examined include:

  • Alternative education provision

  • Early-years pedagogy and training

  • Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development in primary schooling

  • Work-related learning in secondary schools

  • The world of private tutoring

  • Economic austerity and further education

  • Apprenticeships and vocational education

  • Adult education and training

  • Higher education in a globalised world

  • Teacher training and international rankings.

Drawing on these wide-ranging themes across a number of national contexts to provoke critical thinking and reflection, each chapter includes discussion points and further reading, providing a valuable resource for all Education Studies students.
