EDUCATION IN EUROPE

Education in europe is being transformed by a new policy orthodox, affecting all aspects of the education.Private sector involvement,decentralisation and curriculum reform in education are everywhere part of a reshaping of the education  in the name of competitiveness of a european knowledge economy of education .But these changes are accompanied by controversy.New policies challenge ideas about the value and purpose of education that have deep roots in the systems of education were created by reforming movements in the post-war decades.

Education in Drawing from the experience of researchers and activities from six. Western European countries, this book analyses the terms of the new orthodoxy, as developed by bodies such as the EU and the OECD. It explores the remarking of teaching and education  management and governance and looks at new patterns and inequality . It is appreciative of reform's political successes, in education and critical of the narrowness of its  education vision. Finally it argues that the conflcits that surrounded policy change are not yet settled in case of education: the opposition encountered by national governments, and by the EU itself, may yet take education  in new directions.
