Synopsis

Interventions in Education Systems draws on data from England, Mexico, Singapore and Finland to illuminate reform processes to education systems in a range of contexts to develop a better understanding of intervention processes and to encourage the development of more sophisticated models for reforming education systems. The authors draw comparisons between policy implementations and interventions in countries with different socio-economic profiles and different levels of development, highlighting how these processes in practice all too frequently get side-tracked and distorted, often unintentionally, by political, economic and social forces.
