Policy Transfer and Educational Change. This item is unavailable.Policy Transfer and Educational Change

Improving education through policy learning is an important notion for countries in need of educational reform. However, identifying a successful set of practices and transferring them from one national setting to another is a complex exercise. Drawing from their extensive experience, the authors explore a single case study of policy transfer in India, demonstrating how and under what conditions educational reforms can be put into practice successfully and sustainably.

Coverage includes:

·         Policy Learning

·         Inclusive Practices

·         School Autonomy and School Leadership

·         India and its system of education

This book offers a unique, international perspective on educational reform and is a useful resource for teachers, policy makers and postgraduate level students.
