The chapters in this collection are paired to offer two takes on each topic, from supplementing to critiquing to countering and most points in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe issues addressed in this volume include: the place of education in national and international marketplaces, mass testing and standardisation, the future of ‘multiculturalism’ in schools, the public funding of private schools, the complicated relationship between evidence and policy and the shifting politics of inequality. This book is based on the idea that recognising deep disagreements on big issues is a necessary accompaniment to imagining and developing productive ways forward.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-09-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319087580\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-08759-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 220\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47407171731596,"sku":"9783319087580","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319087580.jpg?v=1775828664","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319087580","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
