With this multi-volume collection, Charlie and contributors draw on local experts to present one of the most comprehensive overviews of the education law throughout the globe.

In this first book of its kind, Russo and contributors examines the legal issues in education that impact teachers and students in Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Singapore. It also analyzes other emerging topics related to safety and technology. Together, the education law systems in these five nations allow for interesting analyses with a hope to enhance a common understanding of the status of K-12 education throughout the world.
