School Systems Around the World: An Introduction to Comparative Education
EDST 252Z
Summer 2024
| Section:
01
|
Nearly every town across the entire planet has a local school. In what ways is the nature of formal schooling the same across vastly different cultural contexts and in what ways does it differ? What kinds of contextual factors (e.g., infrastructure, population size, location, political situation, etc.) influence the setup and approach to schooling in different contexts? In this course, we will examine school systems across a wide variety of cultural contexts and compare them in terms of their underlying philosophy of education, their different approaches to implementing education within their cultural context, and consider the ways in which educational systems around the world are compared (both appropriately and inappropriately). |
