 , about schools as places for education\, about learning and teaching and 
 the relationship between them? What have we learned about policy-making an
 d the policy process? Has the growing impact of globalisation informed or 
 constrained radical change?\n\nWritten in an easily accessible style\, and

  teacher\, researcher\, government adviser and consultant with internation
 al agencies\, each chapter of the book illuminates deeper lying issues abo
