International and Comparative Education offers detailed and wide-ranging illustrations of the ways in which comparison can illuminate our understanding of contemporary education systems by exploring issues in relation to specific educational sectors, from early-years and primary schooling, through to further, adult and higher education.

Key areas and debates examined include:

- Alternative education provision

- Early-years pedagogy and training

- Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development in primary schooling

- Work-related learning in secondary schools

- The world of private tutoring

- Economic austerity and further education

- Apprenticeships and vocational education

- Adult education and training

- Higher education in a globalised world

- Teacher training and international rankings.

Drawing on these wide-ranging themes across a number of national contexts to provoke critical thinking and reflection, each chapter includes discussion points and further reading, providing a valuable resource for all Education Studies students.
