GRAFF; NOTES 330 $aIn Emergent Issues in Education, leading scholars in comparative education and in the politics, sociology, anthropology, and economics of education illuminate worldwide trends in critical issues that confront policymakers and practitioners in different national settings. Among the topics raised and analyzed are the organization, governance, and financing of education; the content of curriculum, texts, and tests; and the quality and nature of teacher training. Among the issues examined is the tension that has emerged between the imperative to achieve equality of educational opportunity and the concern of educational decision makers to maintain and upgrade the quality of academic offerings. Aspects of this tension are manifested in the reform movements of the 1980s, especially the "excellence movement" that has resurfaced in the United States. Reform movements are evident in countries that have experienced increased enrollment at all levels of schooling in the post-World War II period. In the United States, as elsewhere, there has been a reassessment of the relevance of education to the economy and polity, and of the role of government and industry in education. Robert F. Arnove is Professor in the School of Education at Indiana University, Bloomington. Philip G. Altbach is Professor and the late Gail P. Kelly was Professor in the Department of Educational Organization, Administration, and Policy at the State University of New York, Buffalo. 410 0$aSUNY series, frontiers in education. 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation and state 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation and state. 676 $a370.19/5 701 $aArnove$b Robert F$01872065 701 $aAltbach$b Philip G$0892627 701 $aKelly$b Gail Paradise$01866596 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975086003321 996 $aEmergent issues in education$94481113 997 $aUNINA
