Reforming Higher Education
Author: Christine Musselin
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2013-10-07
This book analyzes the reforms that led to a differentiated landscape of higher education systems after university practices and governance were considered poorly adapted to contemporary settings and to their new missions. This has led to a growing institutional differentiation in many higher education systems. This differentiation has certainly contributed to making the institutional landscape more diverse across and within higher education systems. This book covers this diversity. Each part corresponds to a different but complementary way of looking at reforms and highlights what can be learnt on specific cases by adopting a specific perspective. The first part analyzes the ongoing reforms and their evolution, identifies their internal contradictions, as well as the redefinitions and reorientations they experience, and reveals the ideas, representations, ideologies and theories on which they are built. The second part includes comparison between countries but also other comparative perspectives such as how one reform is developed in different regions of the same country, as well as how comparable reforms are declined to different sectors. The last part addresses the impact of the reforms. What is known about the effectiveness of such instruments on higher education systems? This part shows that reforms provoke new power games and reconfigure power relations.
Implementing Education Policies Achieving the New Curriculum for Wales
This report analyses the progress made with the new curriculum since 2016, and offers suggestions on the actions Wales should take to ready the system for further development and implementation. The analysis looks at the four pillars of implementation -curriculum policy design, stakeholders' engagement, policy context and implementation strategy- and builds upon the literature and experiences of OECD countries to provide tailored advice to Wales.
Implementing Education Policies
For the first time in South Africa, a critical dialogue has been recorded between government policy-makers and academic researchers on the subject of education policy and practice. Implementing education policies attends to problems, politics and possibilities of implementing the policy goals of the first post-apartheid government established in 1994. The value of this book lies in several 'insider accounts' of the policy process, told through the voices of the legislators, politicians and bureaucrats concerned with steering national value commitments through the education system. Running parallel to these practitioner accounts lie a number of critical analyses of the technical capabilities and political designs that explain the trajectory of education reform in the 1990s. The dialogue brings together, in a developing-country context, different experiences and analyses of one of the most intractable problems facing all national education systems: the persistent gap between policy ideals and practical realities. This volume is essential reading for all academics and students of education at higher education institutions as well as teachers, researchers and policy makers.
