Reform & Policy, Education 

International Education Systems and Contemporary Education Reforms focuses on the information and skills students need to understand, compare, and analyze educational systems and recent reforms in both developed and under developing countries. It is directed to undergraduate and graduate students who want to improve their global understanding of educational systems, formal schooling institutions, and educational reform. It also can serve as a reference for researchers, educators, governmental and educational agencies, and universities that offer international studies programs. The book provides students with the challenges and triumphs that countries are facing in education policy. The valuable information can be used to compare and contrast educational reforms worldwide. It highlights global trends in education, government's commitments to formalized schooling, and the resources available for students and teachers in our global community. - from Amzon
