Equity in Education Experiences And Directions for Developing And Developed Countries

Equity in Education brings a uniquely international perspective to the challenges faced and the progress being made in the area of educating at-risk students. By bringing forward the range of educational issues related to educating the most disadvantaged students in diverse contexts, the book examines a range of themes including: * issues involved in educating at risk students that are unique to each country * issues shared by developing countries as contrasted to issues shared by developed nations * issues that are shared by all countries in the education of disadvantaged children. Countries analyzed include two developing countries (India and Indonesia), one country recently declared to be a developed nation (Taiwan), and three Western nations (The Netherlands, the UK, and the USA). This book will provide material and thought for cross-cultural comparisons and deliberations, and future directions for school effectiveness and improvement.Batra is the author of 'Equity in Education Experiences And Directions for Developing And Developed Countries' with ISBN 9780415362276 and ISBN 041536227X.
