Description and Table of Contents
Description
What constitutes quality schooling and what are its implications for educational practice and school administration? This book looks at these questions and examines international reform initiatives in the 1980s - with particular emphasis on the USA, the UK and Australia. The authors argue that these examples illustrate the dilemmas of both centralized, managerial educational control and school-based and decentralized educational governance. They claim that the challenge now facing educational leaders is to find a balance.
