| Abstract | "The complementary areas of comparative, international and development education occupy a critical part of the landscape in educational policy debates in a global context. This volume brings together a distinguished group of international scholars and practitioners who focus on key policy issues in a variety of national settings throughout the regions of Asia/Pacific, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, North America and Latin America. The topics they address are critical for the future of education in a globalized context and include issues such as social justice, quality assurance, governance, access and equity, marketization, and the role of new media and technology among others. Representing both theoretical and practical approaches to these topics this volume illuminates the many challenges facing education for the twenty-first century learner"-- Provided by publisher. |
