The Globalization of Science Curricula
Globalization is a powerful force with far reaching impacts on education and education policy. The growth of large scale international surveys of student achievement and the increasing role played by intergovernmental agencies in education means that the influence that globalization exerts on education is likely to increase even further in the future. This open access book provides a significant and timely investigation into the impacts that globalization has exerted on science curricula in a diverse range of countries using extensive data sets collected by the IEA between 1995 and 2015. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, this book considers the extent to which ther...

The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys
The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys is the outcome of the Cambridge Primary Review – England’s biggest enquiry into primary education for over forty years. Fully independent of government, it was launched in 2006 to investigate the condition and future of primary education at a time of change and uncertainty and after two decades of almost uninterrupted reform. Ranging over ten broad themes and drawing on a vast array of evidence, the Review published thiry-one interim reports, including twenty-eight surveys of published research, provoking media headlines and public debate, before presenting its final report and recommendations. This book brings together the twenty-eight resea...
School Scandals
With almost daily reports of failings in school management, what can be done to improve educational outcomes for everyone? Pat Thomson takes on England’s muddled education system, highlighting failings caused by the actions of ministers in successive governments. While corrupt actions are taken by some, it is predominantly the corruption of the system that is at fault. She exposes fraudulent and unethical practices, including the skewing of the curriculum and manipulation of results, and argues for an urgent review, leading to a revitalised education system that has the public good at its heart.

School Funding
The methods of funding schools have been an issue of debate in England since the introduction of local management of schools in the early 1990s. Since then, delegation of funding to schools has increased. More recently, changes to the system of school funding have fuelled the debate in England about how schools should be financed. This report interrogates the literature for alternative models of educational funding from other countries, as well as examining the literature for their strengths and weaknesses. The report provides a review of existing models of school funding in European and OECD countries and the advantages and disadvantages of each model. The report covers: financial source and flow; division of responsibilities; allocation of funding to schools. The report also includes nine country illustrations which provide examples of the models identified throughout the report. Recommendations arising from the research suggest that there may be much to be learned from examination of other countries' funding models. [Back cover].
