Originally published in 1992. This work provides insight into comparative and international education work in Australia and New Zealand, where an emerging local style may be developing into a full blown national approach. The 14 essays address issues such as education in third-world Asia, sexism, and culture and power. There is recurring focus on ethics in research, education development, the role of international agencies, inequality, legitimacy and the link between comparative education and education practice. This a great reflection on the field as a whole, with contributions mostly from one area of the world but with a complete international spread of consideration.

This book debunks the argument that quality in education can only be achieved by limiting, or trading off, equality. The quality of schooling is a major issue for Third World nations across the globe. However there is no single measure which is universally accepted. Whether it is, as some economists might argue, an issue of the number of desks per classroom or one of national sovereignty is widely disputed. Defining equality in education becomes increasingly difficult in an era of globalization in which there exists a wide gap between rich and poor, both within and between nations. In the context of an international move towards New Right politics and neo-liberal economic ideologies, both the quality and equality of education are imperiled. This book argues that any worthy definition of quality education must include the interests and participation of the underprivileged.

Class, Culture and the State in Australian Education

Australian education has been substantially re-shaped over the past decade or more, as part of a wider re-shaping of the Australian state. Equity agendas have been increasingly muted, while economic priorities have increasingly dominated educational reforms. The book analyses key policy areas (Aboriginal education, multicultural education, gender, social class, schooling and work, and back-to-basics-curriculum movements) in light of these changes, and examines whether these changes are best seen as reforms, or are the result of a crisis in the Australian state. This edition is edited and distributed in the Pacific region by Allen & Unwin, Australia.
