Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Schooling Around the World: Debates, Challenges, and Practices (Paperback)
I used this textbook for a global education class, and it really has a great and informative review of different country's complex educational systems, and also includes some insight into cultural, economic and social beliefs and norms.
Report language, no heavy jargon.
