Zapp, Mike – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2019

Rinaldi, Stefanie – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2017

Mishra, Mukti – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2014

Millei, Zsuzsa; Imre, Robert J. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2013
In this paper we argue that the socialist kindergarten in Hungary (1948-1989) was set up to aid the modernizing of a nation in a particular way and in a historical and political context in which the only way forward was to leave behind aspects of the past and start a new chapter in Hungarian history. Comparing this project to the…

Meseth, Wolfgang; Proske, Matthias – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2010
The injunction to learn from history is a key feature of German debates over the politics of memory and history, which, since the end of World War II, have been seen primarily pedagogical.

Govinda, Rangachar – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2008
About 60 years ago India established a policy of providing free and compulsory education to all children and began transforming the elite education system inherited from its colonial past into a mass education program.
