|
"This groundbreaking volume brings together essays by an international group of scholars to reflect on the challenges and ultimate fate of the comprehensive high school at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The contributors consider whether the comprehensive high school is in decline and the nature of the problems and challenges that confront it. Highlighting the relationship between historical and contemporary developments, the contributors discuss the potential transformations of secondary schools. Essays focus on the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand."--BOOK JACKET.
