In a recent editorial in Comparative Education P. Broadfoot highlighted the traditional social tension between structure and agency, "between the external directives to institutions that shape the social space and the individual's capacity to choose; to be self-determining" (Broadfoot 2002, p. 5). She concluded that both the academic community and educational policy makers around the world are today faced with two great challenges: the first, "to set out a defining vision of what education could be like in the twenty-first century," and the second, to find ways "to strengthen agency rather than structure, and to produce individuals who are committed, confident, and flexible learners" (Broadfoot 2002, p. 6)
