Toppling Statues and the Defenestration of Comparative Education
The concept of “decoloniality”—i.e. defying Western customs and standards of knowledge acquisition—has captured the field of Comparative Education. This is bad for learning and scholarship, as priority is given to “indigenous” ways of knowing over the scientific method. But decoloniality has also become embedded in the work of leading NGOs and international donor organizations, making it the right time to sound the alarm
Trashing tradition
Is Marc-Antoine Jullien de Paris the ‘father’ of comparative education
More than any other historical figure, Marc-Antoine Jullien of Paris has been considered the ‘Father’ of Comparative Education, and his Esquisse d’un ouvrage sur l’éducation compare, appearing in 1816–17, has been viewed as that field’s originating source. Yet, the view that Jullien is the first in his field, and that his Esquisse is the field’s foundational work, is open to doubt. This article shows that the issues of Jullien’s pre-eminence can …
The Nazi seizure of the International Education Review
It was not until the 1930s that comparative education, with the initiation of dedicated courses and programmes at universities in various countries, that the field became internationally recognised in its own right. And, it was not until the 1930s that the first internationally recognised journal in the field, the International Education Review, was founded by Friedrich Schneider of Germany. The journal's launch happened to be concurrent with the…
Bill Brickman and the Noachian Disputation
Setting the normative boundaries
Historians of comparative education have ordinarily viewed the development of that field as having progressed in stages, from impressionistic traveller tales to systematic investigations, with each stage eclipsing the previous one in rigour and acceptability. In this essay, I show that this common ‘Darwinian’ view is simplistic and distorts the real development of comparative education. Rather than in stages, I contend that the field has develope…

Capitalist Schools
Bicultural Preparation and National Identity

Compara a los estudiantes mexicanos educados en escuelas biculturales (inglés-español) con aquéllos preparados en escuelas nacionales; asimismo los compara con otros estudiantes de América Latina y de los Estados Unidos y Canadá. Los estudiantes de medicina educados en escuelas biculturales mostraron un etnoce…
Social Analysis of Education
Against the Currents
The Peril of Paternalism
During the years immediately following the Spanish-American War, Cuba was governed by a U. S. military administration characterized by its establishment of institutions based on U. S. models. This administration worked energetically to build a viable and permanent infrastructure, improving roads and sanitation and eliminating inefficiencies in government bureaucracy. Yet its methods were often heavy-handed, and it foisted its own system of values…
Nonformal Education and National Development
The Sociology of Educational Expansion
Corrientes Ideologicas en La Educacion Comparada
La idea de que la escolaridad puede no ser totalmente invulnerable a la ideología, perturba profundamente al mundo académico. Se supone que la ciencia descubra la verdad -buscando retirar el velo del juicio subjetivo para lograr sabiduría, discernimiento y comprensión. Los métodos sistemáticos están cuidadosamente diseñados para lograr esta meta. Tomos enteros están dedicados solamente a fomentar la objetividad en procedimiento y a evitar la dece…
