Documenting the history of Baice and Compare: Working towards an archive for the society. A research note
Writing in 2007, in collaboration with Margaret Sutherland, we published a paper on the history and development of the British Association for International and Comparative Education (BAICE) for th
Education, religion and politics: Can they ever be disentangled
Viewed from the perspective of Europe the answer to the question posed above would, until a few years ago, be a resounding ‘Yes’ because the agenda of the European Union has for many years been una
Contrasting policies towards (mainly) Christian education in different contexts
During the past 10 to 15 years there has been a renewed interest in the place of religion, religious education and religious schools in different parts of the world. This began in the USA and Europe with the development of private Christian schools. It was later followed by the resurgence of religious schools in the former parts of the Soviet Empire. Given that Christianity is still the world's largest and most widespread religion, this paper exp…

Comparative Educational Research: The need for reconceptualisation and fresh insights
This paper argues that a century after Michael Sadler's famous speech on ‘How far can we learn anything of practical value from the study of foreign systems of education?’ the turn of a new century/millennium provides a useful opportunity to think afresh about comparative and international education as a field of study. It provides six justifications, or needs, for a reconceptualisation, arguing that the challenges and changes facing education sy…
Language, Power, Development and Geopolitical Changes: Conflicting pressures facing plurilingual societies
This article argues that too little attention has been paid to the linguistic diversity of many poor countries by international donor agencies, given that the most plurilingual societies are also amongst the poorest. Now that recognition has been belatedly given to the language issue geopolitical changes are leading to conflicting pressures on governments. On the one hand there has been a steady decline in the number of global languages over the …

Training teachers in the United Kingdom for a multicultural society‐ the rhetoric and the reality
During the 1970s there were considerable pressures brought to bear on teacher educators in the UK to introduce courses in multiracial and multicultural education. These came from official reports, the DES, even the Inspectorate. Nothing came of them, however, partly because of changes in government, partly because of a lack of any coherent official policy towards multi‐ethnic education. Yet teachers are constantly blamed for being racist, ethnoce…

During the past few months, with increasing regularity, Iran has begun to hit the newspaper headlines, chiefly because of its oil but also because of its strategic importance in the Middle East. From being a little known feudal aristocratic country a few years ago it has become not only the dominant country in the Middle East and a force to be reckoned with in the oil negotiations with the West but it has also begun to embark upon a series of far…

Most of the research referred to in this article, though not all, will refer to the collaborative type

A Teacher's Guide to Multicultural Education
In recent years the teaching profession has been attacked for what the Rampton Report called its 'unintentional racism'. At the same time, attempts by teachers to develop curricula that reflect the cultural diversity and confront the racial inequality of contemporary society have had a highly critical reception. This book will help all teachers who are trying honestly and intelligently to respond to the conflicting demands made upon them. Through…

Multicultural education and teacher training — the picture after Swann
This paper examines the recommendations of the Swann and Rampton reports that institutions of teacher education place greater emphasis on ‘multicultural’ education in their training courses. It shows that many institutions have gone some way towards raising the level of awareness amongst their students concerning working in a pluralist society but that there is still a very long way to go. The majority of institutions now offer option choices in …
