Transforming education policy - Shaping a democratic future (Paperback)

This timely book calls for a new approach to education policy and provides a new conceptual framework based on empirical research. Looking at the relationship between educational thinking and economic policy, it proposes ideas to promote change in the basic assumptions around education policy, providing suggestions for policy development. Education is in a state of continual change and schools are ever more diverse. People want more participation and meaning in their lives; organizations want more creativity and flexibility. Transforming Education Policy argues that a new paradigm is emerging in education, sowing the seeds of a self-organizing system that values holistic democracy.
