School Knowledge in Comparative and Historical Perspective
by Aaron Benavot and Cecilia Braslavsky
Published 28 June 2007
In this special edited volume, scholars with diverse backgrounds and conceptual frameworks explore how economic, political, social and ideological forces impact on school curricula over time and place. In providing regional and global perspectives on curricular policies, practices and reforms, the authors move beyond the conventional notion that school contents reflect principally national priorities and subject-based interests.
