Opis

Following the recent upsurge in interest in educational quality across the world, almost every country is now reflecting on their own educational standards with a view to ensuring that a 'quality education' is provided for all children. This change has coincided with the development of a number of quality assurance systems in education. However, it is not altogether clear whether a quality education is helped or hindered by the exponential growth of such systems.
This fascinating book will aim to answer this question. Drawing on the expertise of a huge array of international scholars, it will also try to provide an overarching definition for quality in education and establish how this differs across the world. The conclusions of this meticulously researched volume will have implications for educational policy throughout the world.
