de Kort, Frauke – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2017

Rinaldi, Stefanie – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2017
In Swiss high schools, teachers have significant leeway in determining the learning objectives and contents of curricula, including the recommended transversal theme of human rights.

Abuya, Benta A.; Onsomu, Elijah O.; Moore, DaKysha – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2014
The educational challenges girls face are often explained by economics. However, gender norms and identities, constructed historically but subject to change, also play a crucial role. In Kenya, little attention has been paid to the negative social constructions that keep girls from attaining the education they want. This article analyses the role…

Strongly influenced by the paradigm of republican universalism, education policy in France favours an approach that largely relativizes, or even denies, the dimension of cultural diversity. The content of the secondary school history curriculum reveals this phenomenon. In the 2007-2008 school year, 185 students in the final 2 years of secondary…
