About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book is drawn from the many interests and goals (common interests, uncommon goals) that various persons and also societies held to be important. … For those interested in the development of comparative education this book is a must read. … For the research to be valid and reliable, certain standards of research should be observed." (T. Neville Postlethwaite, International Review of Education, Vol. 55, 2009)
