Synopsis

Interventions in Education Systems 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.

Media Reviews
This book is full of resources for educational planners. It contributes ... very illustrative examples which illuminate both discussion of scholarship and planning, and the implementation of educational reforms. * International Review of Education *
At a time when education policy makers around the world are increasingly reaching for off-the-shelf recipes for raising achievement, this book provides a timely reminder that every education system is unique. Drawing on unique case studies, the authors provide significant new insights into how educational policy and practice is developed in real-life settings. The book deserves to be compulsory reading for all those seeking to understand how to improve their own national education system. * Patricia Broadfoot, Professor of Education, University of Bristol, UK *
