The dominant analyses of trends and flows in International Student Mobility (ISM) overlook different hierarchies of destinations and the pathways students take to reach these locations. The tendency to conceptualize ISM as a linear involvement of the global elites masks the mobility patterns and trajectories of students with mobility capital shortage. Theorizing on the stepwise migration, this explanatory mixed-methods study investigates the onwa…

This article ai…

School leaders’ perspectives on government-initiated changes in Flemish secondary schools
This paper explores the perspectives of Flemish secondary school principals and coordinating principals on the government-proposed changes and uncovers their experiences with these changes in an in-depth manner. In a school system characterised by school freedom and free school choice, semi-structured interviews with 21 school leaders revealed the significance of school autonomy to create bottom-up solutions to the change-related problems. Howeve…
