Beschreibung:
The book gives us a dynamic insight into the process of educational change in countries that have gone through revolutions, rather than the more familiar evolutionary changes. The authors explore the complex nature and process of change in a selection of former communist countries, including: Russia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and East Germany. They examine educational change as a "process" rather than as an "event." It will be of interest to academics and researchers involved in educational change and school reform.
