« La France aime débattre de l'école. Dans le désordre, l'affrontement et la passion, elle ne cesse d'ausculter ce lieu où se croisent la République, les droits de l'homme, la politique, la citoyenneté. » Les questions scolaires représentent une réserve inépuisable de conflits, de controverses et d'anathèmes, mais aussi de souvenirs exaltés et de références impérieuses. Cet ouvrage s'interroge sur l'omniprésence médiatique d'une polémique opposant ceux qui voudraient changer l'école, au nom de la nécessité de transformations profondes de notre système éducatif, à ceux qui, craignant une mise en péril du savoir ou des excès de « pédagogisme », appellent à la sauver. Chaque velléité de réforme, chaque incident, chaque mouvement de protestation provoque depuis les années 1960 le retour périodique d'argumentaires opposant ces deux camps. Dans une enquête appuyée sur l'étude systématique de 8 500 articles de presse, Yann Forestier met en évidence la complexité des facteurs expliquant le succès de cet affrontement. L'énergie que les protagonistes y consacrent, de même que la passion avec laquelle les échanges s'animent, témoignent certes de la gravité des réalités scolaires, mais aussi des logiques selon lesquelles s'organisent les confrontations d'idées dans un espace public où ce sujet est particulièrement sensible. Au croisement de l'histoire des médias et de l'histoire de l'éducation, ce livre se propose de montrer comment les conditions de circulation des idées peuvent influencer le débat public sur l'école et, en définitive, d'expliquer pourquoi les questions éducatives trouvent une place si particulière dans nos cultures politiques

"This innovative volume makes a key contribution to debates around the role of the university as a space of resistance by highlighting the liberatory practices undertaken to oppose dual pressures of state repression and neoliberal reform at the Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) in Nicaragua. Using a critical ethnographic approach to frame the experiences of faculty and students through vignettes, chapters present contextualized, analytical contributions from students, scholars, and university leaders to draw attention to the activism present within teaching, research, and administration while simultaneously calling attention to critical higher education and international solidarity as crucial means of maintaining academic freedom, university autonomy, oppositional knowledge production, and social outreach in higher education globally. This text will benefit researchers, students, and academics in the fields of higher education, educational policy and politics, and international and comparative education. Those interested in equality and human rights, Central America, and the themes of revolution and protest more broadly will also benefit from this volume. Wendi Bellanger is Provost and Academic Leader of the Universidad Centroamericana (UCA), Nicaragua. Serena Cosgrove is Faculty Coordinator of Seattle University's Central America Initiative and Associate Professor in International Studies at Seattle University, USA. Irina Carlota Silber is Professor of Anthropology at the City College of New York, USA"--

The rapid emergence of COVID-19 presented unprecedented challenges to the education sector. COVID-19 caused the full or partial closing of schools and universities, as well as the cancellation of face-to-face activities in most parts of the world. To conduct business as usual, many higher education providers have taken steps towards digital transformation, moving to online or hybrid learning and teaching delivery approaches. This reprint provides timely research on the impact of COVID-19 on education systems, including the lessons learned. It seeks to unite scholars, educators, policymakers and practitioners to collectively and critically identify, investigate and share the best practices that may lead to rethinking and reframing the way we deliver education in the future.

"Responding to an 'educational emergency' generated largely by the difficulties of implementing education reforms, this book compares education policies around the world in order to understand what works where. To address the key question of why education reforms are so difficult, the authors take into account a broad range of relevant factors, such as governance, ideology, and stakeholder conflicts of interest, and their interactions with one another. Drawing on their experiences as policymakers in the Spanish government and as governmental advisors worldwide, Montserrat Gomendio and Jose Ignacio Wert produce a publication like no other, shifting the usual Eurocentric narrative and shedding light on frequently overlooked educational policies from elsewhere. In this context, they dive deeper into details of educational failures and successes, the processes of implementation and investment priorities in different countries. They provide revealing accounts of stakeholder conflicts of interest and the challenges of implementing educational reform during a financial crisis. The authors also investigate why the evidence from international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) has, contrary to expectation, not generated improvements in most education systems. Gomendio and Wert investigate the evolution of different education systems, closely examining their advances or declines. Gomendio and Wert's expert voices illuminate the current state of global education systems and the necessary changes to ensure long-awaited improvements. This is a revelatory and informative resource for policymakers, teachers and academics alike."--Publisher's website.

"This volume argues that relational realism can help us to make better educational policy that is more effective in practice. Basem Adi draws on critical realism to thoroughly re-examine fundamental assumptions about how government policymaking works, developing an ontological basis from which to examine existing government approaches and imagine an alternative approach based on a relational realist-informed critical pedagogy. Adi casts familiar issues in a new light by drawing on a less familiar theoretical and meta-theoretical tradition, offering a critique that can be productively engaged with by many educational organizations to tackle the issues they face. A Relational Realist Vision for Education Policy and Practice will be of great interest to academics of sociology, critical realism, sociological theory and education, as well as policymakers and educators seeking a theoretical perspective on their work."--Publisher's website.
