Editat de Gerald Grace, Joseph, SJ O'Keefeen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 oct 2007
The unifying theme of the Handbook will be ‘Catholic Education: challenges and responses’ in a number of international settings. The analytical focus will be problem orientated in examining church-state relations, the consequences of globalisation, the impact of secularisation, the extent of Vatican II transformations of educational policy and practice, issues of school leadership and governance and other contemporary challenges. At the same time an examination will be undertaken of the various responses which are being made to these challenges. The two volumes will be organized by geography.

Recenzii
Review in British Journal of Educational Studies (BJES), September 2009
International Handbook of Catholic Education: Challenges for School Systems in the 21st Century in 2 Volumes by Gerald R. Grace and Joseph O’Keefe, S.J., (editors) published by Springer: Grand Rapids. ISBN 978-1-4020-4804-3 (HB) 906 pages
Gerald Grace and Joseph O’Keefe have produced a two volume work that has seriously confirmed the place of the study of Catholic education as a distinctive academic and policy-related field. These two volumes, organised by geography, took five years to compile and represent the first international survey of the challenges facing Catholic school systems in over 30 societies across the world. Each chapter is written by experts, academic and practitioners, international scholars, researchers, school leaders and teachers. There are 45 chapters covering every continent each describing the challenges being faced by Catholic school systems in the 21st century in that country. Each chapter is a systematic study of the challenges encountered and the editors have been careful to insist on a section on what the research agenda should be from each of their contributors. This provides an impetus for further research and Professor Grace has since launched the journal entitled International Studies in Catholic Education, first published by Routledge in March 2009. This journal continues the aims of the two volume text in providing even more research evidence on Catholic education across the world.
Professor Gerald Grace, is the Director of the Centre for Research and Development in Catholic Education in the Institute of Education, University of London. A Centre he founded and which has made the most, perhaps the only, important contribution to the study of Catholic education in the UK. His leadership and vision have provided educationalists, and the Catholic Church, with a new university-basedCentre, a new and prestigious academic international journal and these two volumes which clearly place the academic study and research of Catholic education on an international footing. It is an extremely impressive story and one that ought to be more widely recognised and celebrated. Grace also published his own ground breaking research in 2002 as Catholic Schools: Mission, Market and Morality (Routledge).
The editors outline in the introductory chapter to the Handbook an excellent summary of the ten major challenges facing Catholic schools. These challenges are found in the 45 chapters in the Handbook and are, because of their importance, worth mentioning here in brief:
In Section 1 (USA and Canada) of the Handbook the chapter on ‘Developments in catholic Schools in the USA: Politics, Policy and Prophesy’ by Gerald Cattaro and Bruce Cooper neatly summarises the major issues facing Catholic schools in the USA over the last decade. It provides detailed statistics and very good analysis and explanation of important trends. In Section 2 (Latin America) the chapter by Jeffrey Klaiber on ‘Catholic Schools in Peru: Elites, The Poor, and the Challenge of Neoliberalism’ is well written and a short introduction to an important issue in the context of Latin America. Section 4 deals with Africa and there is an excellent chapter by Mark Potterton and Nathan Johnston entitled ‘A Beacon of Hope: Catholic Schooling in South Africa’. Both these authors have long experience of the situation in South Africa and this chapter demonstrates a clear grasp of the issues. Section 5 looks at India and the Middle East with three chapters devoted to India and one to schooling in the Holy Land. Section 6 looks to the Philippines and Thailand whilst Section 7 examines Hong Kong and Japan. The chapter by Magdalena Mo Ching Mok is particularly worth reading and is simply entitled ‘Challenges for catholic Schooling in Hong Kong’. The final Section 8 considers Australia and New Zealand. The first two chapters on Australia by Susan Pascoe and Brian Coke contain a wealth of information and explanation on the challenges being faced within this particular political and religious landscape. There are of course many more chapters in each section – far too many to mention in this brief review.
Each of the chapters naturallyvary in length and style, but each surveys the challenges within particular territories and each gives some thought to a research agenda for the future. This Handbook is a must for any doctoral students in Catholic education and will no doubt inspire and practically assist them in choosing areas for research. The combined references alone make this Handbook an essential reference work. The chapters that address the political contexts and Church-State relations in various countries are particularly enlightening and show common patterns of issues. The editors are right to see these chapters as raising strategic research areas for the future. There are only two critical comments I would make of this Handbook. First, many priests and religious have contributed to this Handbook making it slightly clerical in feel and there is a tendency for the chapters to be written from a liberal Catholic perspective. Second, the chapters that deal with secularisation issues are limited in theoretical scope. However, the Handbook overall is an astonishing achievement and I congratulate the editors and recommend it strongly.

- Problems of recruitment of staff;
- The decline in religious congregations;
- Female education;
- Student attitudes to the Church;
- The finance of Catholic education.
