cice: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called cice.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Issues; Students; School; Development; World; Learning; Teachers; Policy; Children; Schools; Community; Knowledge; State; Rights; Teaching; System; Government; Countries; Ngos; Society; Social; Policies; China; States; Women; Language; People; Citizenship; Cice; Data; Africa; Literacy; Human; Work; Conflict; Justice; Aids; Field; Peace; Post; Islamic; U.s; East; Participatory; History; Book; Context; Space; Shadow; Billups

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Teachers' perceptions of parents in rural African communities by Oyinloye, Bukola (2023) - Underpinning this relationship are the perspectives that school teachers have of families (e.g., parents) and the perspectives that parents hold of schools, with the former contributing to the ways in which schools seek to engage with parents. Although observations revealed that comm B simultaneously experienced a cashew rush, perhaps because of the high-intensity farming experienced throughout the year, school B teachers did not single it out as a parental functioning in the way that school A teachers did.

• Telling the Story of Gender Inequality During the Early Stages of Covid-19 Crisis in Education and Introducing Feminist Alternatives to Change the Reality by Grillet, Patricia (2023) - What Previous Literature Reviews Found Literature reviews covering education issues that emerged during the Covid-19 crisis that preceded this study addressed topics such as racial issues or social indicators (Moore, 2021; Fallah-Aliabadi et al., 2022), technology (Salas-Pilco et al 2022;) or assessment (Chiang et al., 2022), all of which are pressing variables of education in emergencies. While education systems and the whole world were trying to cope with the crisis by implementing remote work alternatives, there was another hidden emergency affecting the physical integrity of mostly female members of our society.

• Racializing the Climate Justice movement in education by Schindel , Alexandra ; Miles, Monica; Haq, Katherine (2023) - Therefore, our approach to teaching climate justice involves: 1) learning what climate justice issues can be found within one’s own community, explicitly extrapolating these understandings to global contexts, and exploring the ways climate issues are interrelated; 2) integrating local climate issues into school curricula; and 3) engaging in collective, transformative climate actions through classroom, schoolwide, and community climate justice activism. Many educators do not incorporate climate justice issues within their classes because they are unclear about the concept and what it can look like within their geographic context.

• Social Emotional Learning with Refugees in East Africa: Understandings, Implementation, and Impact by Dalrymple, Kelsey (2023) - The study that informs this article specifically engaged EiE practitioners working with NGOs responsible for implementing SEL programming; many of these individuals also engaged in and/or led inter-agency working groups and coordination mechanisms. No interviewees mentioned working explicitly with refugee communities to develop SEL programming or to build on their existing/local forms of SEL.

• “It is as if They are Taking Advantage of a Bad Situation”: Female School Teachers’ Narratives About Care Work and Online Teaching during Covid-19 in India by Saini, Ruchi (2023) - Female school teachers with children were particularly affected because they had to simultaneously cope with exacerbated gendered inequities linked to care work at home (Borah and Das, 2021; Chauhan, 2020), and challenges linked with online teaching from the home such as digital divide, limited professional training, less attendance, and salary cuts (Kumawat, 2020). Despite the fact that teacher well-being is a prerequisite for providing students with a safe and quality learning atmosphere, especially in the context of humanitarian crises and emergencies such as COVID-19 (Falk et al., 2019), limited empirical research exists on the lived experiences of female school teachers in the Global South.

• Creating Third Spaces of Learning for Post-Capitalism: Lessons from Educators, Artists andActivists by Spreen, Carol Anne (2023) - Education third spaces are not only grounded in local communities but also in social movements that seek greater social and racial equity and quality of life for marginalized communities. While some of these spaces may be in or part of “schools”, many are not often thought of as “education spaces,” they are nonetheless sites for a different kind of learning and reimagining.

• Rhetorical Reforms: Markets, Standards and Inequality by Apple, Michael W. (1998) - And only those students who can make a continual enterprise of themselves can keep such schools going in the correct direction.

• Standing Education on its Head: Aspects of Schooling in a World with HIV/AIDS by Kelly, Michael J. (2000) - The content, process, methodology, role and organization of school education in a world with HIV/AIDS must be radically altered. The first tentative steps, therefore, in the radical transformation of school education could be to learn from and put in practice the positive lessons coming from HIV/AIDS education programs addressed to out-of-school youth in non-formal settings.

• Globalization, the I, and the Other by Stromquist, Nelly P. (2002) - (For a parallel discussion of globalization challenges to comparative education research, see Marginson and Mollis, 2001.) Consequences of this for comparative education is the necessary connection to be established between health and education, both for children and adolescents in school and for adolescents and adults out of the formal education system.

• Building on Student Knowledge: A New Frame for Gender Equity in Education The Transcends the Sameness/Difference Dichotomy by Ginsberg, Alice E. (2002) - Many students knew someone who was locked up or knew someone who knew someone in jail. One group of elementary school teachers, for example, consistently tried to minimize any differences or inequities between children in their school--noting that the problems began at the middle and high school levels, and that their concern was preparing children for this transition.

• From Entrepreneurship to Activism: Teacher Autobiography, Peace and Social Justice in Education by Sharra, Steve (2005) - Abstract This article argues that while social entrepreneurship shares concerns similar to those of social justice activism, the corporate and business ethos in the idea of entrepreneurship is not suited to the social concerns that teachers and other educators deal with in their everyday lives. As with social justice activism, social entrepreneurship sees itself as “critical to solving current social problems in an increasingly globalized world” (Grenier, 2003, ¶2).

Keywords: business; education; entrepreneurs; issues; markets
• Why an Issue on Social Entrepreneurs? by Lafuente, Constanza (2005) - To analyze the implications of social entrepreneurship for research within the field of Comparative and International Education, first, we examine how social entrepreneurs are often conceived, since the concept of entrepreneurship has been long hallowed in the context of business and economic ventures (Brown et al., 2004, p. 260), and only recently has it increasingly been applied to social problem solving. The potential of social entrepreneurship to advance education and social change has not been sufficiently explored by Comparative and International Education scholars.

Revisiting Transformational NGOs in the Context of Contemporary Society Nelly P. Stromquist University of Southern California Ten years ago CICE invited me to comment on five articles on the subject of NGOs.

• Are NGOs Overrated? (Ten Year Anniversary Double Issue) by Subramanian, Mathangi (2008) - Now, the ultimate goal of many NGOs is “mainstreaming,” or “the incorporation of NGO models into the official policy framework” of the nations that NGOs serve (Wils, 1995, p. 58). Such NGOs could be described metaphorically as a bridge, available to help people in need to cross over, whether the troubled water refers to hunger, disease, poverty, or inadequate education.

• Lonely Business or Mutual Concern: The Role of Comparative Education in the Cosmopolitan Citizenship Debates by Rapoport, Anatoli (2009) - To effectively impact citizenship education in the U.S. and to advance the inclusion of cosmopolitan global worldview, comparative research should focus on: • Analysis of conditions conducive to the development of cosmopolitan and global citizenship and contexts that make cosmopolitan and global consciousness possible; • Debates around the notion and essence of citizenship, cosmopolitanism, and globalization and how these concepts are constructed, interpreted, negotiated, and applied in various discourses and practices, particularly educational, in different societies; • Policies that impact multiple forms of citizenships; and • Curricular and professional development practices that help teachers and education administrators to better understand the ideas of cosmopolitanism, expanding citizenship, multiple loyalties, and perspective consciousness.

What, then, is a global citizen? 46 Current Issues in Comparative Education K. Hendersot and J. Sperandio Data gathered directly from students in this study suggest they perceive a global citizen to be the following: one who engages in activism; is open minded and accepting of other cultures in a respectful, tolerant and non-judgmental fashion; pursues knowledge and seeks understanding; feels part of the human community; and possesses a sense of awareness, which includes not only self-awareness, but also awareness of the interconnections between local and global issues and of the impact of one’s actions on the world.

• How Much is Learning Measurement Worth? by Wagner, Daniel A.; Babson, Andrew; Murphy, Katie M. (2011) - Simply not enough reliable data have been collected on assessment costs for the variety of assessments currently in use. The evaluation of assessment costs is an issue that will need considerably greater attention in the field of international education.

• Meeting the Tests of Time: Small States in the 21st Century by Baldacchino, Godfrey (2012) - Its legitimacy as a rigorous conceptual category continues to be debated; even as small states assume a strident visibility on the world stage because of climate change negotiations. Education remains a key policy battleground for small states, as the latter balance human resource needs with the trans-territorial aspirations of their brightest and ablest (and often wealthiest).

• Learning from Small States for Post-2015 Educational and International Development by Crossley, Michael; Sprague, Terra (2012) - We now wish to conclude this section by highlighting the fact that by extending the boundaries of dominant interpretations of international development targets and goals, many small states have pioneered innovative developments in education, across all sectors, from which others – in small states and beyond – have much to learn. Following a highly influential pan-Commonwealth meeting on education in small states that was held in Mauritius during 1985 (Commonwealth Secretariat, 1985), and Bacchus and Brock’s (1987) seminal publication The Challenge of Scale: Educational Development in the Small States of the Commonwealth, the Commonwealth Secretariat played a lead role in supporting regional workshops, consultancies and publications focused directly upon small state priorities in education.

• Explaining Whole System Reform in Small States: The Case of Trinidad and Tobago Secondary Education Modernization Program by Lisle, Jerome De (2012) - Whether or not external assistance is sought, however, small states engaged in education reform must develop explicit and precise strategies to guide education change. In this study, whole system reform theory is bridged with contextualized small state and postcolonial theories to analyze themes derived from a qualitative analysis of experiences in a major reform project for the secondary school sector.

(2012) - Comparing the small states of Luxembourg and Qatar, I analyze their ascendant national universities to find out the extent to which these higher education institutions reflect global norms relating to research universities – or the traditions of their host countries. Research universities offer spaces for multilingual, multicultural learning and for scientific discovery.

• Building on Living Traditions: Early Childhood Education and Culture in Solomon Islands by Burton, Lindsay J. (2012) - The Kahua Principles are comprised of four overarching local Kahua cultural values, which provide the basis for how the Kahua people are to behave and interact. Accordingly, it became critical for the lead researcher (a non-Kahuan) to extensively collaborate with a local research team, and more broadly with Kahua communities, to best access and interpret local perceptions and realities.

• Education in Small States: Global Imperatives, Regional Initiatives, and Local Dilemmas, edited by Peter Mayo by Fournillier, Janice B. (2012) - One of the major strengths of the book is its diversity in terms of not only the range of issues but also the representation of work done on small states – a not easily defined concept – in the Southern Pacific, Caribbean, African, European, and Mediterranean regions. Of great significance is his reference, though some scholars might argue somewhat uncritical, to the work of the Commonwealth Secretariat, World Bank, and other organizations and the role they played in identifying the educational challenges facing small states, and supporting their integration into the competitive global economy of the 21st century. Keywords: education; issues; states
• Why do Policy-makers Adopt Global Education Policies? Toward a Research Framework on the Varying Role of Ideas in Education Reform by Verger, Antoni (2014) - Finally, methodologically speaking, it is worth mentioning that comparative education is potentially well-suited to analyzing the impact of global education policy ideas, as comparative analysis is one of the most appropriate strategies for understanding why, to what degree, and under which particular circumstances the same transnational idea is more influential in some particular settings than in others. Focusing on policy adoption implies paying closer attention to, and producing more empirical research on, the processes, reasons and circumstances that explain how and why policy-makers (or other education stakeholders) select, embrace, and/or borrow global education policies, and aim to implement them in their educational realities.

• Comparison and Context: The Interdisciplinary Approach to the Comparative Study of Education by Steiner-Khamsi, Gita (2014) - Other global education policies are sold to national or local governments more often than not at a very high price with the argument of spill-over to other non- paticipating schools. For more than twenty years, multicultural education studies have experienced a fascinating debate over the attribution fallacy.

• Theatre-Arts Pedagogy for Social Justice: Case Study of the Area Youth Foundation in Jamaica by Hickling-Hudson, Anne (2013) - A theory of literacies for considering the role of adult and community education in postcolonial change. Most students fail to attain five passes, and even worse, the majority of the 15-19 age cohort does not even sit for the examination.[2] The destinations of the latter group of young people include unemployment (37.0% among the 15-24 age group in January 2013, according to the Statistical Institute of Jamaica), subsistence living, or technical and vocational training and middle to low-level jobs.

• Promoting Change within the Constraints of Conflict: Case Study of Sadaka Reut in Israel by Ross, Karen (2013) - For example, Efrat, a Jewish woman who participated in Sadaka Reut activities during the late 1980s, explained to me: “Everywhere I am, I read the reality in a critical manner . . . Likewise, Anna, a Jewish woman who ended her participation in Sadaka Reut activities only a few months before we spoke, told me that she had joined the organization as a social outlet, with no awareness of socio-political issues.

• Teacher Education for Social Change: Transforming a Content Methods Course Block by Ritchie, Scott; Cone, Neporcha; An, Sohyun; Bullock, Patricia (2013) - In what follows, we situate our study within social justice teacher education, outline the methodology we used in conducting the study, share our results, and conclude with implications for teacher education focused on social justice. Thus, we perceive social justice education (SJE) and social justice teacher education (SJTE) as complex endeavors that are not reducible simply to a method or methods.

• Education Community Dialogue towards Building a Policy Agenda for Adult Education: Reflections Drawn from Experience by Hirano, Tatiana Lotierzo; Magalhães, Giovanna Modé; Croso, Camilla; Giannecchini, Laura; Munhoz, Fabíola (2013) - This means that they should be recognized as the main actors to be consulted and considered during debates on public education policies and also that their perceptions and desires for an education that is meaningful to them should be the basis for collective action towards developing a public education policy agenda. We focus on the case of the “Amplifying Voices” initiative, which aims to provide an open space for critical thinking and dialogue for youth and adult education actors, towards shaping education policy and promoting social change.

• Does Watching Help? In Search of the Theory of Change for Education Monitoring by Post, David (2015) - The reports of these Watch groups serve as a template for the monitoring of education progress. It may also connect education monitoring with other “Watches” that have continued to take a developmentalist view of social progress, including the NGO-led Social Watch and the UNDP’s own Human Development Report, both of which followed less in the human rights tradition of Helsinki Watch than in the tradition of the World Bank’s World Development Report, which began in 1978.

• Leaders in Education Program: The Singapore Model for Developing Effective Principal-ship Capability by Jayapragas, Prashant (2016) - While the LEP has gained worldwide admiration for heightening participant’s awareness of the interactive nature of the “roles” and “minds” of school leadership, this model is found to be “especially selective,” attracting just 5% of the intended population. This was also reported by the Wallace Foundation in 2011, which highlighted the empirical link between school leadership and improved student achievement.

• Justifications and Impacts of Low-Fee Private Schools in Kenya and Uganda: Understanding Policy Evolutionary Mechanisms through Public Discourse of Bridge International Academies by Monk, Jeremy (2019) - An editorial by an unnamed author stated that closing BIA schools will leave students without any alternatives (ID 11), and a teacher (a former BIA employee) wrote that the consequences of governments shutting down BIA schools will impact poor students, who were only able to attend school due to BIA (ID 22). For instance, Shannon May stated that BIA schools were helping poor children who could not access education due to congestion in public schools (ID 5), a short introduction to BIA in an article about technology said that the company manages over 400 schools in Kenya for low-income areas in slums where access to school is limited (ID 19), and a forum on education in Nairobi led the reporter to state that urban informal settlement demand for schooling has outstripped supply for lack of public schools in those areas (ID 15).

Doyle (2021) - An example of the latter is the powerful turn to the label post-colonial, which, worked better [than other labels like non-Western, Emergent, Minority, and Third World]: it lacked the derogations of the former labels, it specified what unified its compass (a former subjugated relation to Western powers), it embodied a historical dimension, and it opened analytic windows onto common features of peoples who had only recently, and to the extent possible, thrown off their European chains. Aside from geographical descriptors, other labels often applied to the region also allude to the core-periphery relationship described in World Systems Theory (Wallerstein, 1974).

• Education for Black Liberation: Freire and Past/Present Pan-Africanist Experiments by Strong, Krystal; Nafziger, R. Nanre (2021) - These themes offer valuable lessons that we can learn in applying Freirean concepts to contemporary Pan-African movements. Though much of the literature on Freire in Africa focuses on his impact on Africa (Godonoo, 1998; Assié-Lumumba et al., 2019), we argue that a closer examination of Freire’s influence on African popular education reveals that he often borrowed heavily from African revolutionary leaders, whose rich ideas were often unacknowledged or only narrowly theorized in his writings.

• Intersections between education and health reforms in Brazil: when the "target population" is an active builder of the public policy by Penalva Vieira da Silva, Renata; Marcondes Machado, Adriana (2021) - One of these collective health “builders”, Joaquim Alves Cardoso de Mello (Zancan & Matilda, 2015), for instance, argued in 1986 that health education should not be focused on teaching the population not to get ill, as this position would entail that it is their individual responsibility for getting sick. So, for Cardoso de Melo, Health education would better fit Brazil’s reality if it focused on issues such as agrochemicals, pollution, and human rights claims.

• Advancing Ecological Models to Compare Scale in Multi-level Educational Change by Woo, David J. (2016) - Therefore, unlike the original Law, Yuen and Lee (2015) model, these translated models do not have across unit columns for within level and across level interactions. They also resemble Law, Yuen and Lee’s (2015) multi-scale, multi-level model of scalability in that they visualize within and across level interactions (see Figures 2 and 3).

• Using "Positioning" Theory to analyze a female school teacher’s experiences with care-work during COVID-19 in India: Towards Decolonizing Feminist Research by Saini, Ruchi (2022) - An understanding of how the teacher positions herself, as well as those around her, will not only contribute to limited existing knowledge about the impact of the pandemic on care work responsibilities of female teachers but also draw attention to the micro-details of the identities that the participant claims throughout the narratives (Bucholtz & Hall, 2005), instead of a singular, monolithic understanding of it. In the specific context of female school teachers, studies in the past have drawn attention to the negative impact of care work responsibilities at home on teachers’ professional lives (Erdamar & Demirel, 2014; Noor & Zainuddin, 2011).

Therefore, these shifts in the spatial and temporal organization of the home point to a reconfiguration of family roles that have further blurred the boundaries between technology and the work-family context (Schieman & Badawy, 2020; Leichter, 1979).

• Too Close for Comfort? The Impact of Official Aid on Nongovernmental Organizations by Edwards, Michael; Hulme, David (1998) - Hashemi (1992) finds that large NGOs in Bangladesh fail to reach the poorest in their efforts to achieve rapid expansion in geographical coverage -- the drive for breadth rather than depth. In their defense, large NGOs such as BRAC have argued that they are not taking over government responsibilities -- merely helping to create the conditions that will ensure, in the future, that basic education is a real possibility for all children in the country (AKF/NOVIB, 1993, p. 41) via a temporary substitution role combined with training input (Farrington and Lewis, 1993, p. 22).

• NGOs: Progressive Force or Neo-Liberal Tool? by Klees, Steven J. (1998) - [12] There are an array of strategies progressive NGOs are trying which aim at fundamental changes, such as: develop more extensive partnerships with government and civil society; lobby for national policy changes; align with and help develop progressive social movements; focus more on systemic causes of social problems like trade policy, structural adjustment, and human rights; and increase the capacity of people to represent their own interests. [9] Many NGOs have also recognized that governments, especially during the last two decades, have not been bringing such programs to scale.

• Are NGOs Overrated? Why and How to Say "No." by Edwards, Michael (1998) - These qualifications are important, but they do not do away with the need to seek some common patterns in what is happening in the world--after all, we cannot make policy in any other way; nor do they disguise the fact that development NGOs are being influenced by some common trends at both macro- and micro- (or meso-) levels. © 2002 Current Issues in Comparative Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Current Issues in Comparative Education, Vol.1(1) 55 Are NGOs Overrated?

• The "SWAP": One Financial Strategy for Educational Development in Nepal by Maslak, Mary Ann (2001) - In an effort to streamline the multitudinous non-formal educational programs offered by INGOs and NGOs and coordinate these with government services, Nepal's educational planners, supported by the social-service division of the national government, designed the Out-Of-School Program (OSP) for use in non-formal educational programs in Nepal. Based on the successful Lahachok experience, the Seti project in Nepal's Far Western Development Region, initiated by the Ministry of Education and Culture, is another example of the project approach to educational development in Nepal.

• Sector-Wide Approaches in Education: Coordination or Chaos? by Current Issues in Comparative Education Editorial Board (2001) - While highlighting the nonlinear form that partnership development inevitably takes, she simultaneously provides the beginnings of a useful map which lays out the costs and benefits for the increasing number of organizations travelling beyond cooperation and collaboration in educational development. His research demonstrates that a myriad of viewpoints can help strengthen policy development but suggests that greater work needs to be done to identify common issues and linkages across strategies. Keywords: development; education; partnership
• Tilting the North-South Axis: The legitimization of Southern Development Knowledge and its Implications for Comparative Education Research by Abdenur, Adriana (2002) - Recent issues of Cooperation South, which tracks cooperation among developing countries, include an essay on India's Technical Cooperation Programme, which provides scholarships for academic exchanges with other developing countries and has sent around 500 Indian experts to assist in development projects elsewhere (Parthasarathi, 2000); a report on the Africa-Asia Business Forum, a coalition of 350 African and Asian business executives who meet regularly to promote trade, share ideas, and carry out collaborations in the form of joint ventures and technology transfers (Windows on the South, 1999); and a description of a free-email project begun by Costa Rica and currently being expanded throughout Central America and the Dominican Republic (Windows on the South, 2000). Despite the sometimes radical overtones of this discourse, it was far more than hot air; indeed, this discourse accompanied concrete changes in the cooperation practices--most notably the establishment of government agencies in developing countries geared specifically at fomenting collaboration with other developing countries--that in turn signaled new sources of legitimacy for development knowledge.

• Constructing Consensus: The Feminist Modern and the Reconstruction of Gender by Vavrus, Frances (2002) - We can begin to consider the ways that crises are policed by examining the problems and solutions specified in international development policies, such as those addressing the critical issues of population, HIV/AIDS, and environmental degradation. Neoliberalism, in its political and economic facets, has had a profound effect on development policies in the Third World, owing to the fact that the leading international financial institutions--the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB)- -have generally embraced the view that the role of the state should be minimized in the development process (Adelman, 2001).

• Concluding Remarks: The Power of Participation by Kapoor, Ilan (2004) - One of the ultimate ironies of participatory development is that we may well be asking more of Third World communities than we ask of ourselves. While communities may initially dislike or be suspicious of participatory development, it is not inconceivable that, gradually, they develop an interest in participation: NGO or government officials may find it helps monitor the community; husbands/fathers may use it to keep a tab on their wives/children; elites may see in it an opportunity for keeping dissent in check; and everyone may enjoy it for its production of gossip and rumor about friends and neighbors.

• “Holistic yet Tangible”: Embracing the Challenge and Complexity of Education for Sustainable Development by Hanley, Patrick (2005) - ESD curricula cannot concentrate only on one dimension, such as science in exclusion of religious beliefs, or global knowledge in exclusion of local knowledge, or vice versa.

• The International Race over the Patronage of the South: Comparative and International Education in Eastern Europe and the United States by Steiner-Khamsi, Gita; deJong-Lambert, William (2006) - In the “East”, former proponents of socialist comparative education in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) re-examined the developments of socialist comparative education from a post-Cold War perspective (John 1998; Kienitz, 1994; see also Busch 1983). Hoffmann (1975) summarized the distinctions between bourgeois and socialist comparative education discussed at the meeting of socialist comparativists, and concluded that socialist comparative education should abstain from comparison across political systems.

• Negotiating Change: Participatory Curriculum Design in Emergencies by Hodgkin, Marian (2007) - The suggestion that curricula should be developed using negotiation techniques is one such school of thought; this paper considers the potential value of applying these theories within emergency education contexts. However, the Guidance Note relating to this standard states that “curriculum development can be a long and difficult process…[as] in emergencies curricula are often adapted from either the host country, the country of origin or other emergency settings” (INEE, 2004a, p. 57).

• Donor Logic in the Era of Gates, Buffett, and Soros by Steiner-Khamsi, Gita (2008) - How donor logic impacts the cooperation of donor organizations with governments as well as with other international organizations is a topic that deserves much more scrutiny.

Keywords: aid; development; donor; education; international; logic; mongolia; organizations
• The Growing Market for NGO Influence by Ilon, Lynn (2008) - This posits that, if local NGOs are a more direct voice of local communities, then ODA to NGOs might be explained by a desire to build NGO capacity. Several authors suggest that the need to integrate NGOs into a global ODA scenario has caused many NGOs to trade local effectiveness for global integration and legitimacy (Agg, 2006; Gilles and Yontcheva, 2006; Mayer and Gereffi, 2006; Cooley and Ron, 2002; Fisher and Green, 2004; Dolhinow, 2005).

• Incorporating Indigenous Knowledge and Practice into ECCE: A Comparison of Programs in The Gambia, Senegal and Mali by Soudéekin, Alicia Ranck (2009) - In The Gambia there is thus far a proposal on how indigenous knowledge should be included in early childhood programs. Closely following this, the Education for All (EFA) initiative from the 1990 World Conference on EFA in Jomtien, Thailand, the 2000 World Education Forum in Dakar, Senegal, and the development of the Millennium Development Goals in the UN, have all led to an increase in government policies and local initiatives in the domain of early childhood programs around the world.

• Inclusive Education in Bhutan: A Small State with Alternative Priorities by Schuelka, Matthew J. (2012) - As Bhutan has shifted its educational policy from elite monasticism to secular ‘Education for All’, issues of educating a heterogenous student population led to the development of inclusive education policies.

• Re-reading the Anamorphosis of Educational Fragility, Vulnerability, and Strength in Small States by Jules, Tavis D. (2012) - Editorial Introduction Re-reading the Anamorphosis of Educational Fragility, Vulnerability, and Strength in Small States Special Guest Editor Tavis D. Jules Loyola University Chicago The Raison d’être of Small States Research Not so long ago, across many disciplines, the study of small states was seen as a futile project since “small states have been rendered synonymous to chronically vulnerable and problematic territories for which aid, assistance and especially favourable deals are legitimate” (Baldacchino, 2012, p. 237). Yet within the past eighteen months we have seen a popular resurgence of educational research on small states in comparative and international education (CIE) with at least two publications in 2011 (Education in Small States: Policies and Priorities by Michael Crossley, Mark Bray and Steve Packer, and Tertiary Education in Small States: Planning in the Context of Globalization edited by Michaela Martin and Mark Bray) and one in 2010 (Education in Small States: Global Imperatives, Regional Initiatives and Local Dilemmas edited by Peter Mayo).

• Editorial Introduction Climate Change, Migration, and Conflict: Lessons in Education by Pan Algarra, Sara (2025) - While some explore the historical progress in international agreements on climate change that are relevant to education policy and practice, other authors analyze primary data about the experiences of teachers vis-à-vis climate change education. Pizmony-Levy and Wagner (2025) identify that the school time devoted to climate change education has increased, but teachers continue to perceive the topic as one relevant to the STEM curriculum.

• Contesting Capital: Critical Pedagogy and Globalism A Response to Michael Apple by McLaren, Peter (1998) - As a result, too often such attempts have witnessed social relations of production becoming buried in the synergistic swirl of theoretical eclecticism.

• Globalization, Curriculum and the Third World State: In Dialogue with Michael Apple by Jansen, Jonathan D. (1998) - South Africa Since Apartheid At a first glance, it appears that while the cast of characters is different in the South African context, the trajectory of education policy is strikingly similar to what Apple observes in his review of educational reform in England and the United States of America. It is now clear that education policies and ideologies cross national borders with roughly similar promises, perils and procedures as economic markets (Jones, 1998; Taylor, 1999).

• Deconstructing the Rhetoric of Decentralization: The State in Education Reform by Kamat, Sangeeta (2000) - State policies such as decentralization thus need to be analyzed in terms of how certain alliances are strengthened and certain others weakened.

• Rethinking 'Cosmopolitanism' as an Analytic for the Comparative Study of Globalization & Education by Sobe, Noah W. (2009) - Rethinking 'Cosmopolitanism' as an Analytic for the Comparative Study of Globalization & Education Noah W. Sobe Loyola University Chicago This article proposes that for scholars in comparative and international education the study of cosmpolitanisms offers a productive avenue for thinking outside of the traditional paradigms of area studies and for understanding the new world-generating optics and multi-layered geographies that appear to be emerging with globalization. The piece explores the concept of vernacular cosmopolitanisms and discusses recent scholarship – on 21st century American education and on early-20th-century Yugoslav education – that have used cosmopolitanism as an analytic category.

• The Impact of Political Violence on Education in South Africa: Past, Present and Future by Ntshoe, Isaac M. (1999) - On the other hand, while political violence was at the heart of the apartheid agenda, violence was also used as a tool to challenge the dominant power structure and government of South Africa. Interestingly, the escalation of political violence that targeted the education community during the apartheid era helped to raise international awareness.

• A Policy Shift from State to Non-state in Education Aid: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the UK’s Development Policies by Aung, Thu Ya ; Straubhaar, Rolf (2021) - Across the board, unlike previous DfID documents, DfID (2018) used particularly strong language to describe developing country education systems: “precious resources go to waste” (p. 1) “tragic waste…risks to stability…enormous waste” (p. 3) “vulnerable education system” (p. 3) “stagnant public sector” (p. 4) “learning crisis” (p. 5) McCormick’s analysis of education policy documents in Lao PDR and Cambodia led him to conclude that “access to formal, primary education is promoted in the service of growth, and private provision to the benefit of the few, at the expense of improving quality in education for the marginalized or even the poor majority” (McCormick, p. 39).

• Why are Progressives so Hostile to School Choice Policies? by Glenn, Charles (1998) - Religious schools may be permitted as an alternative, but only if they conform themselves to public schools through abandoning such harmful practices as compelling religious expression and practice, teaching secular subjects from a religious perspective…and making children's sense of security and self-worth depend on being saved or meeting unreasonable, divinely ordained standards of conduct (p. 179). The first argument is that most, if not all, religious schools are harmful to children. Keywords: catholic; children; choice; dwyer; education; parents; public; schools
• Schooling, Family, and Individual Factors Mitigating Psychological Effects of War on Children by Flores, Joaquin E. (1999) - Children having had friends wounded or killed in the war, and reports by the parent or guardian of children experiencing psychological distress, were significant predictors of high anxiety levels. Children who had friends wounded or killed in the war were 5.2 times more likely to develop PTSD than children who did not.

• Popular Education and Post-War Democratization: The Case of PENNAT, Guatemala by Dyrness, Andrea (2001) - This paper explores these questions by examining a non-governmental program of popular education for working children and youth in Guatemala. PENNAT,' or Programa Educativo del Niño, Niña y Adolescente Trabajador (Educational Program for Child and Adolescent Workers), is an alternative educational program created for working children who are unable to attend regular school.

• Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises, and Early Reconstruction by Subramanian, Mathangi (2007) - Modern warfare is particularly hard on children, who are recruited as child soldiers in unprecedented numbers, targeted as possible civilian casualties, and are geographically displaced with or without their families. Every day, across the world, committed educators in industrialized and developing nations face countless challenges in creating school systems that effectively serve all of their citizens. Keywords: children; education; minimum; nations; standards
• Comparative, Diachronic, Ethnographic Research on Education by Tobin, Joseph (2014) - If I had to summarize the key findings of the new book in a single sentence, I would say that between the mid-1980s and the first decade of the new millennia, early childhood education in China changed a lot and Japanese preschools stayed much the same. In Chinese early childhood education, a new hybrid form of progressivism is emerging, that combines Dewey, Vygotsky, the Project Approach, and Reggio with Confucianism, Chinese socialist principles, and Chinese educational traditions that give importance to memory, performance, mastery, content knowledge, and critique.

Striving toward greater accountability within public schools and focusing on insuring that choice function equitably, Glenn lauds the efforts of the choice movement in public schools and encourages furthering these programs in Why are progressives so hostile to school choice policies? Keywords: education; market; schooling; schools
• Education: A Key to Power and a Tool for Change--A Practitioner's Perspective by Chung, Fay (1999) - The ad hoc approach to education in emergencies has meant that education programs were frequently designed on the spot by well-intentioned aid workers, but often without the professional assistance or the requisite experience. After a more thorough understanding of the scope of the problems, these agencies should provide greater technical as well as financial support to education programs in emergency situations. Keywords: access; education; key; new; power; schools
• Neo-liberalism and educational reform in Latin America by Henales, Lidia; Edwards, Beatrice (2000) - Instead, neo-liberal policies took root in Latin America due to the weakness of both the economies and the democratic political systems in place. Although neo-liberal economic policies had been thoroughly discredited as a means of improving living standards and income, these same market-oriented policies were now to be extended to educational reform, which emerged as the most promising tool of the neo-liberals for maintaining their claim to social responsibility.

• A Broader Definition of Fragility: The Communities and Schools of Brazil'sFavelas by Straubhaar, Rolf (2012) - This role as broker between favela communities and local politicians granted AM leaders a great deal of political strength (Leeds & Leeds, 1977). Current Issues in Comparative Education 47 A Broader Definition of Fragile States Arias (2004) calls for the expansion of these types of democratic systems as a potential solution to favela instability, asserting that through sponsorship of local democratic schooling initiatives, international actors can provide favela communities with the means to develop innovative solutions to community problems and petition for necessary changes in state policy. Keywords: brazilian; community; drug; education; favelas; fragility; janeiro; rio; schools; social; states
• Neoliberalism in Two Hong Kong School Categories by Woo, David (2013) - I then apply a neoliberal framework to a changing Hong Kong socio-economic context and the governance of two categories of Hong Kong schools: international schools and Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) schools. As Hong Kong schools traditionally “are remarkably homogeneous and cannot meet the increasingly diversified needs of parents and their children,” and are “highly centralized and controlled,” the government has a role in meeting differentiated demand and expanding choice for education (Yung, 2006, p. 96). Keywords: categories; category; dss; education; government; hong; hong kong; international; kong; neoliberalism; schools; system

• An Historical Perspective on Coordinating Education Post-Conflict: Biopolitics, Governing at a Distance, and States of Exception by Sobe, Noah W. (2007) - “There can hardly be any question that contemporary knowledge and the best of professional practice in public and private community service must be mobilized in order to meet the peculiar challenge of international aid to social reconstruction.” Returning people to proper collective living was set as the chief goal of social reconstruction and the restoration of “organized services to the millions so that each individual may find the right response to bitter needs which he cannot meet alone” (p. 216). Keywords: agency; community; conflict; education; emergencies; inee; life; politics; post; reconstruction; standards
• Response Paper: Empower or Control? Education in Emergencies and Global Governance by Burde, Dana (2007) - In education programs, these differences are often characterized by the relative emphasis placed on centralization versus decentralization, and on community or private structures versus state or public structures. For example, Afghan refugees living in Balochistan employ universal rights language to advocate for education services among international agencies (Burde, 2005). Keywords: aid; community; control; education; emergencies; humanitarians; international; issue; new; standards

• Institutional Evaluation, Knowledge and Multiculturalism: Some Ways Ahead in Brazilian Higher Education by Canen, Ana (2003) - I argue that institutional evaluation policies that try to strike a balance between strategies that value culturally distinct institutional approaches to knowledge and those that ensure a regulatory control for quality assurance and institutional accountability are in a better position to help institutional growth. That type of institutional evaluation policy can be said to have silenced multiculturally-oriented perspectives in favor of homogenized, centralized and product-oriented evaluation processes under the guise of objectivity and accountability. Keywords: approach; building; canen; cultural; education; evaluation; knowledge; technology
• Technology for All? The Impact of Technology of Knowledge Production and Educational Development by Current Issues in Comparative Education Editorial Board (2003) - The impact of technology on knowledge production and educational development As modern technology is rapidly changing the nature of knowledge production, it is becoming increasingly important in the field of educational development to examine whether, as a result, these changes are fostering inclusion or creating greater disparity. Canen's Institutional Evaluation, Knowledge and Multiculturalism: Some ways ahead in Brazilian higher education illustrates how such policies seem to support a product- oriented approach to education and knowledge production. Keywords: knowledge; technology
• The “Islamic” in Islamic Education: Assessing the Discourse by Panjwani, Farid (2004) - Conception of Islam in 'Islamic' Education Here we come to a central issue within the discourse on Islamic education, namely its underlying conception of Islam. This paper seeks to critically asses these approaches by exploring the following: (i) the construction of arguments for an Islamic approach; (ii) the underlying conception of Islam used in the writings; and, (iii) practical proposals for the implementation of Islamic education. Keywords: approach; discourse; education; history; ideals; islamic; knowledge; muslims; system; time
• Comparatively Knowing: Making a Case for the Vertical Case Study by Vavrus, Frances; Bartlett, Lesley (2006) - Their embrace of case study research in comparative education is not merely methodological; rather, Crossley and Vulliamy make an epistemological ‘case for the case’ by arguing that what can be known about one context cannot be assumed to be true in another context. Too often, case study research is cast as ‘not comparative’; too often, we are convinced to conduct quick, insufficiently grounded evaluations, participatory or not, upon which policies are then based. Keywords: case; comparative; education; international; knowledge; research; studies; study
• Enactive Processes, Critical Ontology, and the Digitization of Education by Henderson, Kevin A. (2018) - Critical perspectives on technology are important as they often challenge the dominant technological imaginaries in place (for more on imaginaries, see Hu within). Enactive Processes, Critical Ontology, and the Digitization of Education Kevin A. Henderson Teachers College, Columbia University This introduction will explore the relevant literature on enactive processes, critical ontology, and faculty agency in relation to the digitization of education [1]. Keywords: digitization; education; kincheloe; knowledge; ontology; technology

• NGOs: What’s in an Acronym? by Ginsburg, Mark B. (1998) - For instance, Carroll (1992) describes how NGOs in Latin America contribute invaluable, practical assistance to local grassroots groups involved in economic development activities, while Petras (1997) portrays similar NGOs in Latin America as competing with socio-political movements for the allegiance of local leaders and activist communities (p. 10) and linking foreign funders with local labor ([via] self-help micro-enterprises) to facilitate the continuation of the neo-liberal regime (p. 25). In recent years nongovernmental organizations or NGOs have become increasingly visible and active in various sectors of social life, including education. Keywords: education; ginsburg; new; ngos; state
• Too Far From Home? 'Modulitis' and NGOs’ Role in Transferring Prepackaged Reform by Steiner-Khamsi, Gita (1998) - In addition, unlike national and local NGOs in Western Europe or North America, NGOs in post- socialist countries do not receive funding from their own governments, but rather are directly financially tied and accountable to international governmental organizations or international NGOs. A micro-level analysis helps us to explain why individuals in NGOs rely on external funding from international NGOs but, at the same time, establish alliances with national government officials. Keywords: education; edwards; hulme; international; level; ngos; organizations; state
• NGO-State Relations: An Argument in Favor of the State and Complementarity of Efforts by Arnove, Robert F.; Christina, Rachel (1998) - Yet local NGOs with strong ties to their communities can be instrumental in overcoming obstacles to national policymaking and in launching successful programs in the midst of language diversity. Nicaragua needs now the same level of commitment of state resources to address illiteracy as was available in the 1980 National Literacy Crusade and follow-up program of popular and adult basic education. Keywords: education; literacy; ngos; state
• Are NGOs Overrated? by Current Issues in Comparative Education Editorial Board (1998) - In Can NGOs provide alternative development in a market-based system of global economics?, Ilon explains that market demands compromise the service delivery goals of many NGOs. Perhaps NGOs and state forces would be better served in reaching their goals if they worked more closely together. Keywords: ngos; society; state
• Privatization and Neo-Liberalism: Ideology and Evidence in Rhetorical Reforms by Klees, Steven J. (1998) - Let me begin by supporting much of Apple's overall argument: that underlying all educational debates are competing visions of legitimate knowledge, (p. 16) supported by very unequal power; that the current emphasis on the free market and privatization is based on an eloquent fiction (p. 2) that has been assembled in new ways by an alliance of neo-liberal and neo-conservative forces; and that the upshot has been narrow and ideologically-based analyses of efficiency in education over broader views of what education does and what its role should be in achieving social justice. It is not that Apple's paper should have tackled all these issues, but their neglect would be more understandable if their absence had been recognized instead of characterizing the English experience as the most advanced (p. 4) or as representative of reform in other nations (p. 9, 12). Keywords: apple; education; evidence; neo; privatization; research; state
• Islam, Democracy, and Citizenship Education: An Examination of the Social Studies Curriculum in Pakistan by Ahmad, Iftikhar (2004) - Two reports on the Islamic model of citizenship education in Pakistan illustrate the prevalence of a theocratic vision in social studies textbooks. In The Subtle Subversion: The State of Curricula and Textbooks in Pakistan (2003), Nayyar and Salim demonstrate that social studies textbooks published under the national curriculum guidelines stress Islamic ideology and contain material that can be characterized as insensitive toward non-Muslims and women. Keywords: citizenship; curriculum; education; islamic; pakistan; social; state; studies; textbooks
• Education and Emigration: The Case of the Iranian American Community by Mossayeb, Sina; Shirazi, Roozbeh (2006) - Drawing on existing studies of Iranian educational policies and their consequences, we propose an extension to this thesis. Taken together, the arguments made by Habibi (1989), Sakuari (2004), and Torbat (2002) suggest that both policy and quality issues associated with Iranian higher education have incited at least some Iranians (between 1.5 and 3 million) to leave Iran.

• Fragile States, by Lohar Brock, Hans-Henrick Holm, Georg Sørensen and Michael Stohl by Williams, Hakim Mohandas Amani (2012) - Because violence is often such a staple of fragile states, Brock et al. expend considerable effort in deconstructing the connection between violence and state fragility: they “do not argue that there is a deterministic, law-like relationship between state fragility and violence” (p. 48); but acknowledge that “state fragility...is both a cause and a consequence of violence” (p. 47). Nonetheless, this book represents a strong contribution toward widening our understanding of fragile states; and despite the far-ranging analysis of both endogenous and exogenous factors that shape state fragility, the authors are perhaps quite right when they insist that “fundamental social change must come from [within and] not from outsiders” (p. 136). – Reviewed by Hakim Mohandas Amani Williams, Gettysburg College Citizenship Education in Commonwealth Countries, by Tristan McCowan and Sonia Gomez.

• Brokerage, Political Opportunity, and Protest in Venezuelan Higher Education Reform by Storm, Elliot (2015) - Many of the prominent student leaders that led the first anti-government Storm 20 Current Issues in Comparative Education student protests in 2007, a number of whom came from private universities without FCU branches [3], had since graduated, leaving a leadership and organizational vacuum (Brading, 2013, p. 131). Students at the private and experimental universities, on the other hand, were not particularly concerned with the issue of parity either way, for the majority of them attended institutions where authorities were still chosen by the Ministry of University Education (experimental universities) or by parochial governing boards (private universities).

• How can human rights education contribute to international peace building? by Bernath, Tania; Holland, Tracey; Martin, Paul (1999) - International human rights should function as universal reference points, common to, and relevant to the acts of both the local population and international peacekeepers (Baekey & Gabriel, 1991). In so doing, they have, at least in the abstract, appeared to recognize not only that human rights are an essential component of just societies, but that human rights education is a necessary element in the process of re-establishing stable and just post-war societies.

• Cosmopolitan Democracy and Democratic Education by Snauwaert, Dale T. (2001) - The recognition of international human rights in the world community begins in the post-World War II era with the Nuremberg Trial, Judgment, and Obligation, which formed the basis of the United Nations (UN) Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent international human rights laws and conventions (Nuremberg, 1970).

• Editorial Introduction: Analyzing Social Movement Actions and Outcomes by Sirota, Sandra (2015) - In addition to movements advocating for equity and justice in and across schools, schools themselves are becoming places where the tactics of social movements are also learned—e.g. human rights courses and service-learning projects create opportunities for political engagement and advocacy among students. In “Human Rights Education and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme,” she suggests that while the course does contain some essential elements of human rights education, it does not sufficiently promote education through and for human rights.

• Education post-‘Covid-19’: Re-visioning the face-to-face classroom by Tarc, Paul (2021) - Re-visioning the face-to-face classroom Paul Tarc University of Western Ontario For better and worse, the Covid-19 crisis will necessarily advance a number of instrumental responses for online education under the global shutdown of face-to-face classrooms. Unfortunately, it will also be employed as ‘shock doctrine’ (Klein, 2007) to advance a much more aggressive move to online education that would be hardly possible in more normal times, but that is a different story.

• NGOs in a New Paradigm of Civil Society by Stromquist, Nelly P. (1998) - Functions Steiner-Khamsi (this issue) observes that many NGOs in Eastern and Central Europe engage in corrupt practices. Second, many NGOs work on the premise that governments should fulfill obligations and be held accountable for the actions they take or fail to take.

• Contested Alliances: International NGOs and Authoritarian Governments in the Era of Globalization by Silova, Iveta (2008) - Contested Alliances: International NGOs and Authoritarian Governments in the Era of Globalization Iveta Silova Lehigh University The NGO boom of the 1990s was matched by mounting literature on the influence of NGOs on world politics. NGOs forge contested alliances with governments, international organizations, and local communities (often contested from within and without); and, notwithstanding their success or failure in reaching their officially proclaimed goals, NGOs are capable of altering larger political, economic, and social processes in unpredictable ways.

• International Scholarship Graduates Influencing Social and Economic Development at Home: The Role of Alumni Networks in Georgia and Moldova by Campbell, Anne C. (2016) - Additional research can further understanding of what qualities and attributes make scholarship alumni networks successful in other countries and how to best transform a network that is struggling. Acknowledgements: This article summarizes a portion of findings from the author’s doctoral dissertation, completed at the University of Minnesota. An additional challenge to understanding how scholarship program alumni contribute to social and economic development in their home countries is a focus on individual alumni trajectories instead of accomplishments made by a group (see examples in Kalisman, 2015 and Volkman, Dassin, & Zurbuchen, 2009).

• Should Unified Korea Choose Fiscal Decentralization for Education? Testing the Decentralization Theory on Education Finance with Cross-country Analysis for Korean Unification by Kang, Seulgi (2021) - Education decentralization in Africa: A review of recent policy and practice. Results Descriptive Analysis To understand how education finance models are differentiated by the academic/economic status (GDP per capita and Gini Index), the table is first divided countries into high GDP per capita (Table 1) and low GDP per capita (Table 2); then, 3 Since this analysis is based on strict criteria that a country has to participate in PISA and provide OECD advanced information on its education expenditures, it leaves out most countries from Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America and some countries in East Europe.

• Bridge over Black[ened] Water: A New Refrain for NGOs by Ginsburg, Mark B. (2008) - Although the album’s title song was not produced as part of a social marketing campaign for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), its lyrics seem well-suited for that purpose. Therefore, I am inclined to conclude that whether or not one generally favors a role for NGOs and whether or not one is a proponent of privatized or public forms of democracy (see Ginsburg, 1998; Sehr, 1997), that contracting out combat-zone security functions to nongovernmental organizations pushes privatization too far.

• NGOs, Civil Society, and Development: Is There a Third Way? by Klees, Steven J. (2008) - Nonetheless, while available funding directs most NGOs to service provision, there are still many NGOs that engage in advocacy and monitoring, and often NGOs engage in both service provision and advocacy. There are also donor- organized NGOs (DONGOs), government-run NGOs (GONGOs), advocacy NGOs (ANGOs), public interest NGOs (PINGOs), and business and industry associated NGOs (BINGOs) (Kamat, 2004; Edwards and Hulme, 1997).

• The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Comparative and International Education Society by Zakharia, Zeena (2006) - © 2006 Current Issues in Comparative Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Current Issues in Comparative Education, Vol. 8(2) 63 EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Comparative and International Education Society Zeena Zakharia Teachers College, Columbia University The Comparative and International Education Society (CIES), formerly Comparative Education Society, was founded in 1956, bringing together academics and professionals with an interest in comparative education in the United States, and elsewhere, into a formal body of scholarship. When we began planning for this issue of CICE to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Comparative and International Education Society, our initial concern was how an issue reflecting on the Society’s past could be brought to bear on current issues in comparative education, in fitting with the journal’s mission. Keywords: comparative; education; international; society

• Conceptual and Practical Approaches to HIV/AIDS: The Brazilian Experience by de Sousa, Isabela Cabral Félix; Cruz, Fundação Oswaldo (2000) - It is often assumed that health education can protect health status if people learn to avoid the behaviors leading to the spread of HIV infection. (Peixinho et al., 1990), women are recognized increasingly as a group at risk for HIV infection and for developing AIDS.

• What’s ‘New’ in New Literacy Studies? Critical Approaches to Literacy in Theory and Practice by Street, Brian (2003) - As we shall see when we discuss practical applications of NLS across educational contexts, it is the recognition of this hybridity that lies at the heart of an NLS approach to literacy acquisition regarding the relationship between local literacy practices and those of the school. My own work, for instance, begins with the notion of multiple literacies, which makes a distinction between autonomous and ideological models of literacy (Street, 1985) and develops a distinction between literacy events and literacy practices (Street, 1988).

• Whose Language Is It Anyway? Historical Fetishism and the Construction of Expertise in Bolivian Language Planning by Luykx, Aurolyn (2003) - Language ideology plays an important role in shaping language policy, and policy in turn shapes the social and institutional conditions that encourage certain kinds of language use and discourage others. Conclusions The last few decades have made abundantly clear that language planning is not an exact science; language policies have effects both on language ideologies and language use, but not always the desired effects.

• College Student Entrepreneurship in China: Results from a National Survey of Directors of Career Services in Chinese Higher Education Institutions by You, You; Zhu, Feifei; Ding, Xiaohao (2017) - Different from previous studies, our study integrates college student entrepreneurship indicators at all stages (e.g., interest, intention, actual entrepreneurship, survival) and tries to provide an all-in-one description of college student entrepreneurship in China. In addition, the extensiveness in terms of the survey’s geographical scope enables our findings to represent the general status of college student entrepreneurship in China.

• The "Education Vaccine" Against HIV by Vandemoortele, Jan; Delamonica, Enrique (2000) - If the hypothesis holds true that, beyond the initial stage of the AIDS pandemic, education reduces the risk of HIV infection, then new HIV infections will gradually become concentrated among illiterate and poor people as the epidemic spreads among the population. HIV infection rate among young women by level of education However, the correlation between sero-prevalence and education was no longer observed for the age group 15-19, the group that became sexually active a decade later when information on the pandemic was more widespread.

• Beyond “Gender Sensitization” and “Gender Mainstreaming”: Comparative and International Education towards the Democratic “Re-construction” of Gender by Current Issues in Comparative Education Editorial Board (2002) - © 2002 Current Issues In Comparative Education Teachers College, Columbia University, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Current Issues In Comparative Education, Vol. 5(1) 3 EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION Beyond Gender Sensitization and Gender Mainstreaming: Comparative and International Education towards the Democratic Re-construction of Gender This issue of CICE is devoted to furthering our understanding of the complex ways in which gender relations are constructed and maintained within educational settings and of the implications of gender discourses produced within these contexts, or in relation to education, for reconstructing a more truly democratic gender order (Connell, 1987). Both Boldt and Ginsberg reconfirm that what we need in order to promote gender equity is much more than those adults who are highly aware of gender issues, calling for students' active participation in the democratic re- construction of gender.

• Response to “Whose Language Is It Anyway? Historical Fetishism and the Construction of Expertise in Bolivian Language Planning” by Rosario, Mercedes del; Warren, Nanda (2003) - By challenging some widespread assumptions about language revitalization and the way indigenous languages should be written and used in schools, Luykx opens the door to considering more effective strategies for improving the condition of marginalized indigenous groups. However, although she successfully calls attention to the effects of standardization on marginalization of indigenous languages in Bolivia in particular and the Andean region in general, Luykx fails to provide alternative means to foster language fortification and revitalization. Keywords: language; luykx
• Decolonial Language Education and Identity Realization in Africa by Hassan, Mariya (2024) - This understanding of how language education can contribute to inequality and social injustice is not new, considering the history of colonial language education in (former) colonies.

Keywords: education; oxford; people; research; university

• Citizenship Education in Commonwealth Countries, by Tristan McCowan and Sonia Gomez by Wright, Beth (2012) - One of the major strengths of the book is its diversity in terms of not only the range of issues but also the representation of work done on small states – a not easily defined concept – in the Southern Pacific, Caribbean, African, European, and Mediterranean regions. Of great significance is his reference, though some scholars might argue somewhat uncritical, to the work of the Commonwealth Secretariat, World Bank, and other organizations and the role they played in identifying the educational challenges facing small states, and supporting their integration into the competitive global economy of the 21st century.

We propose the amplification of a relational ethic that may bring the spirit of humanity implied in Dees's definition of social entrepreneurs, not only to understand his segregation of social enterprise from the market proper but to encourage a critical transformation of that very market in ways that amplify the values articulated by Dees (2001, p. 1) across all the sectors, whose boundaries are indeed blurring.

• M. Hadjiyanni, Contesting the Past, Constructing the Future by Spyridakis, Demetrios (2011) - From the onset, Hadjiyanni clearly states two important aims of her study: (1) to corroborate her argument that both Greek and Turkish Cypriot textbooks are biased by using textual evidence, and (2) to provide perspectives on the biases from history teachers and educational researchers who actively propose solutions to this problem. Hadjiyanni’s overarching theme is both sensible and well-argued: that Greek and Turkish Cypriot educators should abandon efforts to create a nationalistic barrier, which creates an “us” versus “them” dichotomy between the two communities within Cyprus.

The book challenges the polarization of environmental education taking place through Environmental and Sustainability Education (ESE), focusing on two ethnographic case studies.

• Island Enclaves: Offshoring, Creative Governance, and Subnational Island Jurisdictions, by Godfrey Baldacchino by Sammler, Katherine G. (2012) - As small island states know only too well, ocean space still comprehends contested legal regimes, with their oddly striated jurisdictions, extending progressively offshore: Territorial Waters, the Contiguous Zone, Exclusive Economic Zones, extended Continental Shelves, and ending in the High Seas or international waters. As Steinberg (1999) describes it, ocean space is “a domain that is resistant to direct state surveillance and territoriality but that nonetheless has been incorporated within statist discourse…[and these] contradictory tendencies in modern-era marine governance…may be viewed as reflecting the ebb and flow of contradictory tendencies in the spatiality of capitalism” (p. 254).
