Tobin, Joseph – Comparative Education, 2022
International comparative ethnographic studies of ECEC (Early Childhood Education and Care) are difficult to conduct but worth the effort.

Bulle, Nathalie – Comparative Education, 2011

Horner, Wolfgang – Comparative Education, 1979
The author describes educational planning in France from about 1950 to present because he believes that a good many of the general theoretical problems of planning in France can scarcely be distinguished from the questions that are specific to Germany, which has reached an impasse in educational planning.
