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.
