Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is a book about four rural secondary schools of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, a newly independent Central Asianstate of the former USSR. Utilizing case study methods, we describe and discuss how teachers, administrators and studentsare attempting to survive the proclaimed 'transition' to democracy and a market economy within their particular schools andcommunities. We view this work primarily as a cultural study of schools and school life, not a work about the national educationsystem. There is in fact a growing volume of other writings on issues and problems in education in Central Asia, some ofwhich we have ourselves contributed to. The focus in this study, however, involves school, individual, and group lives anddynamics in and around the four village schools we studied during 2004 and 2005.Two of the four schools are in Chui Oblast; one in Naryn Oblast, and one in Batken Oblast. One Chui school lieswithin an economically and demographically stable community by Kyrgyz standards; the other school faces more serious economicand migratory issues. Our Naryn school is located in an isolated livestock-breeding region of Kyrgyzstan high in theTien Shan mountains near China. Finally, we describe community and school situations in an agricultural community in thesouth that is characterized by considerable poverty-driven labor migration. Our work involved schools in the small town ofShopokov, and the villages of Tash Dobo, At-Bashy and Ak-Tatyr. These are all actual places on the map of Kyrgyzstan - ifyour map is detailed enough. In several cases, nearby smaller schools are also discussed as they relate to our primary institutions.
