Contemporary Trends and Issues
Contemporary Trends and Issues
Education this century is shaped by fast change and by a set of promises governments have made about who gets to learn. This chapter sets up the two lenses the whole guide uses, trends and issues, then follows the right to education from international conventions into national law, and asks why a legal guarantee still leaves children out of school.
Trends and issues as two lenses, technology as the driver, and what modern schooling is for.
UDHR, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Education for All, and the MDGs.
Why a right written into law does not automatically put every child in a classroom.
The administrative layer between policy and the classroom, and why planning, staffing, and training decide results.
How a system plans a budget, actually spends it, and sends money and staff to where they are needed.
How weak monitoring and accountability let phantom schools, absent teachers, and patronage appointments drain a system.
