Interventions in Education Systems

<i>Interventions in Education Systems</i> draws on research conducted in England Mexico Singapore and Finland to illuminate reform processes to education systems in a range of contexts to develop a better understanding of intervention processes and to promote the development of more sophisticated models for reforming education systems. The authors compare policy implementations and interventions in countries with different socio-economic profiles and different levels of development highlighting how these processes in practice all too frequently are side-tracked and distorted often unintentionally by political economic and social forces.
