Recenzii

This volume draws from a wide scope of topics in both Canada and the United States to highlight important worldwide educational policy issues of our day. At times exciting, at times sobering, this work reminds us of the broad impact that policy-making has on the day-to-day lives of the most vulnerable among us, our learners.
This book is a set of authoritative, interpretative essays on key issues of contemporary education in North America, set against a historical background. Some of the themes are issues of hot debate in the United States and Canada. Others have a more international resonance, such as the debate on teacher education and the pros and cons of increasing government involvement in education policy and provision. Overall , the essays provide a valuable synoptic perspective on contemporary education debate in North America.
