This significant contribution to comparative education presents an authoritative discussion of the recent changes in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. The implementation of a democratic educational policy in Scandinavia has been affected by the dominance of the Protestant Church, mass immigration from Third World nations, a growing belief in rugged individualism, newfound respect for privatization and the market economy, and the increasing unemployment of the technical revolution. Education has been unable to adapt rapidly enough to meet the changing needs of this transformed Scandinavia. In this comprehensive collection of articles, contributors present their findings, thoughts and concerns for the Scandinavia of both the 90s and the future.

CAN NORWAY LEARN FROM CHINA? The book's purpose is to reach parents and grandparents worldwide, to inspire them to be conscious about the quality of their loved-ones' schooling. Parents and grandparents are more important than public authorities, teachers and researchers, to achieve successful school development. Quality education is the primary life insurance in a changing global world. From my experiences in Norway, East Asia, Finland and England, I present some ideas about how parents and grandparents can enhance school quality. China soon has the world's largest economy. Can a substantial explanation be the respect for knowledge and the population's strong willingness to learn? When China joined OECD's Pisa surveys (2009), Shanghai's 15-year-olds were top in the world. The same was the case in Pisa 2013. Chinese students abroad, are those that complete the fastest. Is effort in school work China's strongest soft power? Norway is a small, sparsely populated, super wealthy Scandinavian country. Historically, it had an excellent education system. That changed when the country switched to a US American curriculum model after World War II. Today the situation is worrying. Norway has rather low school quality objectively, and worse, relatively, when compared to amount of money used per student. Everybody has access to higher education, free of charge. Dropouts from higher education is increasing. In 2015, four out of ten university students dropped out. The nation's position in international education rankings is mediocre or poor. Norway is the only country in Europe where a majority of the population does not see education as an important value. A common opinion among those who analyse the global economic competition is that individuals and nations' level of knowledge is the power source number one. Importance of knowledge for individuals', companies' and nations' identity and mastery is the overall frame for this book. The education cultures in Norway and China today are opposites. My observations and comparisons during seventy years, as student, father, teacher and researcher have convinced me that Norway, and most other countries, can learn from the education culture of East Asia. In this culture, there is an enormous respect for learning and knowledge. An education system where students show strong motivation for learning and respect for teachers is the super soft power of economically successful East Asian countries. Quality of education will decide their competitive power in the increasingly global knowledge economy. The educational and economic success of East Asian countries triggered my curiosity for their curriculum roots. I found the moral philosopher Confucius, the thousand years old Imperial Examination, and a recent Chinese history of education as a key means to safeguard people's identity, while simultaneously learning science and technology from the West. I came across a number of amazingly dynamic and patriotic individuals, often poor before turning rich, and then using their private wealth to build schools and universities of quality, for the public. At the very individual level of this travelogue, I tell about how my family and I met with two elite schools in China, one international and one Chinese. Both were established by a poor waitress having turned billionaire. In my concluding reflections, I look at what Norway and many other countries can learn from China, Finland and England. The three countries' common denominator is high education quality, despite different curriculum traditions. We can take the best from each of them and create an optimal quality school for all.

This book brings together leading scholars in Global Studies in Education to reflect on how various developments of historic significance have unsettled the neoliberal imaginary of globalization. The developments include greater recognition of inequalities and the changing nature of work and communication; the emergence of new technologies of governance; a greater awareness of geopolitical shifts; the revival of nationalism, populism and anti-globalization sentiments; and the recognition of risks surrounding pandemics and climate change. Drawing from a range of disciplinary perspectives, the chapters in this collection examine how these developments demand new ways of thinking about globalization and its implications for education policy and practice — beyond the neoliberal imaginary.

This is the first handbook to cover the sociological approaches to higher education. It is timely because of global expansions of mass higher educational systems, especially as these systems come under scrutiny by a variety of stakeholders. Questions are being raised about the value of traditional pedagogies along with calls for efficiency, accountability and cost-reduction, but above all job training. Within this neoliberal context, each chapter examines different sociological aspects of, and debates about, educational institutions as status-conferring organizations, with myriad positional characteristics, experiences, and outcomes. Many current debates concern the legitimacy of the statuses conferred, including the continuing debate regarding the role of universities in legitimating social class reproduction as well as more recent concerns about standards in mass systems. This handbook puts these issues and debates in focus in ways that will be of interest to a variety of stakeholders, within academia as well as in policy circles.

Does the Nordic model of education still stand by its original principles and safeguard education for all? This Open Access volume is a carefully crafted collection of chapters that investigate the different aspects of equity, equality and diversity across the education systems in the Nordic countries. Based on data from various national and international large-scale assessments, the volume provides a better understanding of both the functions and foundations of the Nordic model, along with how the concepts mentioned above are enacted in practice. Across the chapters, data from different national and international large-scale assessment studies are used for cross- and single-country analyses on a variety of issues related to equity, equality and inequality in diverse educational settings. The investigations address different subject domains (i.e., mathematics, science, reading), age and grade groups, but also issues related to teachers and the schools themselves. In addition to these empirical chapters, the book addresses the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of the ideas and tools embedded in the phenomena of equity and equality and how they have met in the Nordic model of education.

This edited volume scrutinises the Nordic dimension within education and how this notion affects, frames and sets direction for school and education in policy, practice and educational research. The book interrogates what unites and divides Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and analyses how the notion of the Nordic dimension has become conceptualised and institutionalised in different educational settings. Comparative studies of national education policies and practice across these five small North European countries – and Scotland as a case beyond – explore how the Nordic dimension relates to national, regional and transnational collaborations. Further, the book queries the degree to which what are typically considered Nordic approaches to social welfare, gender equality, diversity and international outlook have, in actual fact, affected education. Ultimately, the book explores the realities and myths associated with the idea of the Nordic dimension, and in relation to the wider context of integration within the European region. The book will be of interest to researchers, scholars and postgraduate students working in international and comparative education; education policy and politics; teaching and learning; and in European cultural studies.

This pioneering volume is devoted to the analysis of education from the perspective of political science, applying the full range of the discipline’s analytical perspectives and methodological tools. The contributions demonstrate how education policy can be explored systematically from a variety of political science perspectives: comparative politics, public policy analysis and public administration, international relations, and political theory. By applying a governance perspective on education policy, the authors explore the changing institutional settings, new actors’ constellations, horizontal modes of interaction and public-private regulatory mechanisms with respect to the role of the state in this policy field. The volume deals with questions that are not merely concerned with the content or outcomes of education, but it explicitly takes a political science view on how education politics work. Including country case studies from the Americas and across Europe, institutional analyses of education policy in the EU and the WTO/GATS as well as normative reflections on the topic, the volume provides a grand overview on the diversity of issues in education policy. Dealing with a so far neglected field of policy, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible analysis of a rapidly changing topic. Education in Political Science will be of interest to scholars and students of political science, education, sociology and economics.

In international welfare state scholarship and political discourse the Nordic Model has become a standard concept. But how precise is the concept and to what extent do the five Nordic countries fit into this overall pattern? In this book a group of Nordic historians trace the historical origins and developments of welfare in the five Nordic countries. The aim of this book is to modify the standard concept by emphasizing both the common features and the variations between them. As a work hypothesis the authors regard "Norden" as a model with five exceptions. The articles in this book are all written by historians who have worked within the framework of a Nordic research project operating under the title The Nordic Welfare-Model - a Historical reappraisal.

This book offers an original contribution to the area of international research on comparative education policies and the influence of transnational agencies on national school policy and reform. With a focus on grasping what the Nordic model or the Nordic dimension means in school and educational policy, the book explores in depth the school policy contexts of the five Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It demonstrates how these particular national contexts engage with and contextualize transnational collaboration on issues like school reform, accountability, evidence and what works, and digitalization. The book situates these policy issues over a long period of time while integrating the latest developments and reforms. It demonstrates how context matters. It shows how the often elusive, but pervasive Nordic dimension can only be fully understood by painstaking scrutiny of the five national contexts, their particular trajectories and mutual interactions in formal and informal education.
