Education in Eastern Europe and Eurasia

Nadiya Ivanenko is Associate Professor of Comparative Linguistics and Deputy Dean in the Department of Foreign Languages at Kirovograd State Pedagogical University, Ukraine.

Education in Eastern Europe and Eurasia provides an insightful introduction to the societal changes taking place in the post-Soviet era, and the effect on national educational systems. The book contains fifteen chapters, structured in two parts. The book is easy to read—accessible not just to researchers, but also to teachers and policy-makers who want to learn more about the educational development of the region […] an invaluable source of information and a needed starting point for any such project, and therefore, highly recommended.
