Recenzii

'a vital resource for anyone interested in education in small states.' British Journal of Educational Technology, Vol 43 No 1 2012 Education is vital, no matter where in the world you are. "Education in Small States: Policies and Priorities" discusses the importance of education and its implementation all throughout the world, in particular small and remote states without massive existing infrastructure. Discussing the legal issues that lie behind these states, the push for greater education through the formation of a commonwealth, and the impact of globalization on the state of education. "Education in Small States" is an intriguing study on international academia and the nature of a globalized world, very much recommended. 201203 'This well-researched book, written with a minimum of jargon, helps to broadly explain the particular needs of a unique subset of states in the Commonwealth.'
