Tasks for Comparative Education in the New Millennium.
Grant, Nigel
Comparative Education, v36 n3 p309-17 Aug 2000
Comparative education can provide a background of contrasts and possibilities against which to examine one's own problems. For comparative education to be effective, background conditions must be understood; educational systems must be examined as wholes, in their contexts; and ideas should only be borrowed from systems sufficiently similar to allow a reasonable "fit" or potential adaptations.
