    £132.99

    There has been much talk and effort focused on the educational achievement gap between white versus black, Hispanic and American Indian students. While there has been some movement the gap has not appreciably narrowed, and it has narrowed the least for Native American students. This volume addresses this disparity by melding evidence-based instruction with culturally sensitive materials and approaches that can be applied to Native American students, as well as minority and indigenous groups in nations around the globe.

  • - Assessing the politics and possibilities of educational change in Asia
     
    £132.99

    As Asian education systems increasingly take on a stronger presence, of special interest is how these states direct their schools towards higher achievement. This book presents accounts of constructions of the strong, developmental state witnessed across many Asian societies, and seeks to understand the politics and possibilities of curriculum change situated in the dominance of such a state. Engaging in analyses based on some of the best current social and cultural theories, and illuminating the interactions among various state and non-state pedagogic agents, this volume accounts for the complex post-colonial, historical and cultural consciousnesses that many Asian societies experience.

Focusing on Bosnia and Herzegovina, the author considers educational developments in post-communist countries of central and Eastern Europe, the effects of the civil conflict that occurred 1992-95 and the consequences of the peace settlement. In order to present a picture of the development of primary education in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the importance of political ideology on education provision, chapters discuss instances of the impact of external political influences, educational provision being drawn from neighbouring countries, and illustrate how the political war is continuing. Political and Social Influences on the Education of Children provides insights into lessons learned for education in countries with a changing political state and considers what the future might hold for primary education provision in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Political and Social Influences on the Education of Childrenis key reading for researchers, scholars and postgraduate students interested in educational developments in post-communist countries and education in areas of conflict. This book will also appeal to those interested in the political and social history of the region.
