The case studies explore the social and political contexts that shaped the features of these...

The World Bank and Education : Critiques and Alternatives
ISBN: 9789460919022 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For more than three decades, the World Bank has been proposing global policies for education. Presented as research-based, validated by experience, and broadly applicable, these policies are ideologically driven, insensitive to local contexts, and treat education as independent of international dynamics and national and local economies and cultures. Target countries, needing resources and unable to generate comparable research, find it difficult to challenge World Bank recommendations.
