Based on case studies of educational reform in the former Yugoslavia - from the decade before its violent breakup to contemporary efforts in post-conflict reconstruction - From Class to Identity tells the story of the political processes and motivations underlying each reform.The book moves away from technical-rational or prescriptive approaches that dominate the literature on education policy-making during social transformation, and offers an example on how to include the social, political and cultural context in the understanding of policy reforms. It connects education policy at a particular time in a particular place with broader questions such as: What is the role of education in society? What kind of education is needed for a 'good' society? Who are the 'targets' of education policies (individuals\/citizens, ethnic\/religious\/linguistic groups, societies)? Bacevic shows how different answers to these questions influence the contents and outcomes of policies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55371398840694,"sku":"9786155225727","price":139.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_13539535_23317758_20250710090824.jpg?v=1752187403","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9786155225727-from-class-to-identity","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
