Understanding school reforms in their context GLACIER international webinar series

Glasgow Network for Comparative and International Education Research (GLACIER) presents:
The presentation draws on the example of the last fundamental reform, School-Autonomy-with-Accountability (SAWA), to show the importance of contextual comparison. It focuses on three contextual aspects: time, space, and system. More specifically, the presentation examines the SAWA reform against the backdrop of public administration reforms of the past five decades. It pays close attention to the sequence of the reforms, as well as the impact they had on global education policies.
