Description
Elite Education - International Perspectives offers a systematic examination of elite education systems across different parts of the world. This book provides a historical analysis of their emergence and considers how recent policy and economic developments are changing these systems. Through country-level case studies, it offers an in-depth account of elite education systems in various regions, including the Anglophone world, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The book also highlights commonalities and differences between these systems, providing insights into broader theoretical issues relevant to educationalists, researchers, and policymakers. This book will appeal to those interested in policy making and academic research in education and sociology, as well as post-graduates studying the sociology of education, education policy, and education and international development.
