The “Education Gap”
When talking about an “education gap” between Euroamerican and Third World countries we can distinguish between three types of gap, namely
Schooling in Modern European Society
The Contribution of Formal Schooling to the Increase in Intellectual Capital
Substantial IQ gains from one generation to the next have been recorded for men in many industrial societies since the 1950s. Some authors have attempted to argue away these results by claiming that intelligence tests do not measure general IQ but rather something with a weak causal link to IQ. Others have taken the evidence emerging from, for example, The Netherlands as showing that the massive increase in the nation's intellectual capital is ac…
Education and the Global Concern
Encounters with James B. Conant-Harvard President and Defender of the Public School
James B. Conant's significance as an educator included establishing a graduate school of education at Harvard, reforming postwar German education as American High Commissioner, and leading a major study of American high school and teacher training, The American High School Today . The author recalls his association with Conant in relation to that report and their work together in the 1960s on the Governing Board of the Max Planck Institute for Ed…

Research and Policymaking in Education: An International Perspective
Policy-oriented research in education covers a very short period indeed. Research deliberately and systematically geared to provide an extended knowledge base for reform and improvement in education initiated by public policymakers is hardly more than 25 years old. Over the last few years, I have had opportunity to ponder about this in conducting a study on how research and policymaking in education interrelate in Sweden, the Federal Republic of …
A Marriage to Higher Education
The aspirations to reach what was at least in earlier times regarded as the pinnacle of scholarship and prestige in the learned world, that is, to become a professor, seemed to have emerged early in my life. There were few academics in my family. My father was a farm boy who had completed barely some five hundred days of primary schooling in the 1880s. My mother's father had completed the university matriculation examination in 1875 and his two s…

Educational Change in Sweden
THE EVENTS ON THE EDUCATIONAL SCENE IN SWEDEN after I945 have be seen within a socio-economic framework. Behind the School Reform, prepared by committee work ever since 1940, we find the same forces which have brought about political democracy, economic growth and the Welfare State. It might be typical of the school as a highly institutionalized system that universal suffrage, reforms creating social security and economic expansion are the precur…
