First published in 2005. Broadly speaking, church-state relations in education turn nowadays upon two chief issues: I. Should religion be taught in state schools? And if so, may the state interfere with the teaching? 2. In countries where separate schools, under church control, exist should they have a share of public funds? Church and state issues flare up anew whenever there appears a repressive government action or a dynamic drive of the churches for a larger share of privileges. Both occur frequently enough to make this World Year Book a lively read.

First Published in 2005. The 1970 edition of the educational yearbook focuses on education in cities. The purpose, in this volume, was not to produce yet another book describing various aspects of the ‘urban crisis', but to concentrate on the effects of urbanization on education at all levels - an aspect which has, of course, been mentioned explicitly in the literature concerned with problems of urban growth though usually in the context of social problems, town planning, and so on.

First Published in 2005. Almost everywhere policies designed to broaden access to education and to promote equality of opportunity are now pursued. In consequence the importance of examinations grows, since success in them determines entry to higher education and thus to professional posts. They are therefore a major instrument of social mobility and promotion which affects social structure by applying criteria of selection nearly always accepted unconsciously and uncritically. The aim of this text in selecting Examinations as the theme of the 1969 WORLD YEAR BOOK, was to present a comparative analysis of the way in which examinations are devised, administered and assessed, to find out why we are examining, and to look at the ways in which we examine to see if these are efficient, relevant and reliable.

First published in 1968, in this World Year Book new ground is broken by concentrating on an aspect and type of education which has been, until recent years, largely ignored by academic educationists. 'The needs of technological and industrializing societies impose the necessity for matching educational output with professional manpower requirements', written in the Introduction to the 1967 volume on 'Educational Planning'. This looks at the education and training provided by enterprises, having regard to the economic and educational histories of the countries concerned, but endeavouring to bear in mind the philosophical and theoretical questions raised. The authors in this 1968 World Year Book of Education show that there are unifying themes in analyses of educational growth in both the developing and industrially advanced nations.

First published in 2005. By focusing on planning this Year Book follows a tradition well established in Comparative Education. This year book hopes that by drawing together into one volume contributions from many distinguished specialists, it hopes to help in the necessary organization and systematization of a field which is full of promise.
