Comparative Education Society in Europe - Böcker

This volume brings together leading research to consider the role of education in creating equitable societies. Spanning phases and sectors from early childhood, through compulsory schooling and higher education, to adult learning, the contributions consider issues of fairness and inclusion in education systems in terms of access, processes and outcomes. These issues are addressed in an international and comparative perspective via analyses of: the policies of government and supra-national entities as they focus on managing the relationship between education and equity; the power of education to interrupt or perpetuate cycles of advantage and disadvantage; and the narratives of children, youth and adults as they negotiate established and emerging meanings of equity in education.
