Review

'An excellent book for students of comparative and international education to indulge in. It leaves the reader with a thorough insight into what comparative education is all about... and provides readers with a firm foundation for further absorption into the many aspects of the field. It is a pleasure also to recommend the book as a course book for comparative education courses outside the English-speaking world.'

Professor Thyge Winther-Jensen, Department of Educational Sociology, School of Education, University of Aarhus, Denmark

"This text is very approachable and clearly written and yet manages to address major features a beginning comparative educator would need to learn about the field...I would recommend the text for an initial comparative/international education course." —Comparative Education Review (Suzanne Majhanovich)

"Reading this book will provide you with a solid grounding in the principles of comparative and international education, and will equip you with a better understanding of the theory and practice that lies behind these terms. It is an in-depth and specialised text suitable for education professionals."
SEDA, September 2009
