Description

Education in Eastern Europe and Eurasia provides an essential reference resource to education development and key education issues in the region. Academics and researchers working in the field cover education and educational development in Belarus, Moldova, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Israel. Each chapter provides an overview of the particular country, focusing on contemporary education policies and the challenges of implementing educational reform. The book includes an analysis of the social and political issues which impact on the education system and governments' responses to recent local, regional and global events. Including a comparative introduction to the issues facing education in the region as a whole and guides to available online datasets, this is an essential reference for researchers, scholars, international agencies and policy-makers at all levels.

International Review of Education
This volume is a welcome addition to the comparative and international education literature. It is informative and well put together. Its authors throw fresh light on the changes and challenges facing countries in this region. Their observations, based on recent research, provide some fascinating insights and should appeal to those wanting to find out more about this part of the world.

Keith Watson, Emeritus Professor of Comparative and International Education, University of Reading, UK
A fascinating review and analysis of educational change in the Russian Federation and its near western and southern neighbours. Trends of internationalization, structural reform, and the move away from the socialist inspired policies of the previous Soviet Union are shown to have had some success in achieving more democratic and technically advanced systems, whilst battling the economic crises that plagued this region and much of the rest of the world.

Trevor Corner, Reader in Education and Emeritus Professor of Comparative and International Education at the University of Bedfordshire, UK
Education in Eastern Europe and Eurasia provides an insightful introduction to the societal changes taking place in the post-Soviet era, and the effect on national educational systems. The book contains fifteen chapters, structured in two parts. The book is easy to read-accessible not just to researchers, but also to teachers and policy-makers who want to learn more about the educational development of the region […] an invaluable source of information and a needed starting point for any such project, and therefore, highly recommended.
