Papers in this volume are from a symposium on issues associated with a national presence in Canadian educational systems. The papers provide an overview of the rich and multi-faceted dimensions that guide and challenge Canadian educators in the current national policy debate. The first paper argues in favour of the traditional decentralised system of education, with a national role accomplished through initiation of dialogue and promotion of greater coherence at all levels.
