Education in Times of TransitionDavid Coulby, Robert Cowen, Crispin Jones The yearbook takes as its starting point the context of the new millennium; the collapse of the Soviet Empire, the continuing rise of the Pacific Rim & particularly of the People's Republic of China, the new energy of the USA, the UK & Germany, & the renaissance of Islamic states. The yearbook will pose the question: are there educational patterns, educational lessons to be learned, within these major political & economic transitions, some of which have tipped into crisis, all of which have been traumatic? |
