So argues Benjamin Levin in Governing Education. With this book, Levin seeks to improve public understanding of the way government works, especially with regard to education policy." "Based on his experience as Manitoba's deputy minister of education from 1999 to 2002, Levin offers an insider's account of the events and conditions that governed Manitoba's education policy as a way of illustrating the larger dynamics of the political process. He demonstrates how the actions of governments are rooted in diverse political demands, and, looking at the current state of education and education policy in Canada, comments on its strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities." "Levin combines enlightened analysis with stories of real events told by participants, providing an in-depth exploration of government in action. This study will appeal to readers interested in education, political science, and public administration."--Jacket. 606 $aEducation and state$zManitoba 607 $aManitoba$2gnd 607 $aManitoba$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation and state 676 $a379.7127 700 $aLevin$b Benjamin$01656333 701 $aEasthope$b Antony$0156841 701 $aMcGowan$b Kate$0734854 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819240603321 996 $aGoverning education$94009150 997 $aUNINA
