Opis

This four volume set brings together some of the most significant and influential writing on the history of education during the past 30 years. It illustrates the key themes on which historians of education have worked during this period and shows their relevance for our understanding of the development of schooling and education systems worldwide. The four volumes are structured so that readers will see clearly what is distinctive about the study of the history of education in different parts of the English-speaking world but will also gain an insight into the ways in which historians have increasingly identified common themes and problems which are of significance well beyond the boundaries of individual nations.
