Stromquist, Nelly P. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2020
This Viewpoint argues that, while efforts must continue to achieve universal primary and secondary education at the global level for both boys and girls, the concern with access and thus enrollment and completion parity has blinded many governments from seeing the crucial need to examine what is actually learned in school. Stronger concern with…

d'Orville, Hans – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2020
COVID-19 confronts the education system with a new and massive crisis. What should a "new normal" look like for future generations?

Bešic, Edvina – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2020
This article aligns with recent international approaches to inclusive education and argues for a broadened understanding of the term, specifically in the context of Austria, which currently focuses only on children with disabilities.

Zapp, Mike – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2019
Many analyses of globalized education have directed growing attention to a problematic local-global nexus, with a particular focus on international organizations (IOs) as coercive and normative governance actors that influence national educational policymaking. By contrast, this work stresses the cultural-cognitive dimension of IOs' education work…

Comings, John P. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2017
The world community committed to support universal access to basic education in 1990. Since then, schools have been built and teachers hired and trained. Twenty years later, many more students were in primary school, but learning assessments showed that most were not learning how to read well enough to use reading to learn. The world community…

Ahmed, A. Kayum – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2017
While human rights education (HRE) provides the tools for emancipation, it remains susceptible to appropriation by authoritarian regimes who seek to entrench state power. Classification scholars who typologize approaches to HRE fail to acknowledge that state entities could employ human rights discourse to reinforce state sovereignty. Consequently,…

Tibbitts, Felisa; Katz, Susan Roberta – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2017
Human rights education (HRE), like the wider international human rights project, is a bold attempt to influence laws and state policies, while at the same time inspiring people to connect human rights to their everyday lives. In terms of incorporating HRE within the formal education sector, HRE is dependent upon the good will of state actors. To…

Yudkevich, Maria; Altbach, Philip G.; Rumbley, Laura E. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2015
Global university rankings are often thought of as games, defined by roles and rules that universities must play in order to confirm their legitimacy and gain visibility as actors in the global academic market. While some countries are well represented at the top of rankings charts, others are just joining the race and testing out different…

The founders of the International Bureau of Education (IBE) in Geneva were convinced the best way to develop understanding between peoples was by disseminating knowledge: collecting pedagogical materials from around the world, making them accessible to all, and enriching them through collective studies and conferences where attendees could engage…

Moody, Zoe – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2015
Over the course of the 20th century, the social and legal status of the child evolved considerably. One remarkable illustration of this process can be seen by tracing the evolution of specific international treaties on the rights of the child. Although developments in national legislation inspired the authors of these treaties, it was through…

The 2006 UNESCO conference "Building Creative Competencies for the 21st Century" had international participants and a global reach.

Most countries in South Asia are either in the middle-income bracket or moving towards it; to move up the value chain towards higher incomes, they need more skilled people and larger investments in infrastructure. The combination of globalization, technological advancement, unprecedented labour mobility, and the demographic dividend offers them…

Lee, Jeongwoo – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2013
Many countries are now creating world-class universities (WCUs) as essential parts of their higher education reform agendas, and as national goals. It is legitimate to ask whether every country that aspires to build a WCU can do so--especially developing countries. To answer this question, this paper provides a three-step framework. The first step…
