This volume contains papers around the theme of Tradition, Modernity and post-modernity in education from an international perspective. The Introduction examines this theme, drawing largely upon the literature in Comparative Education. Succeeding chapters illustrate that traditional, modern and even post-modern elements, or tensions between them, often exist within the same educational system. Cases are drawn from many parts of the world, and add up to a fascinating insight into the dynamic world education.
