EDUCATION
NOAH AND ECKSTEIN (1969)

…is potentially more than a collection of


data and perspectives from social science
applied to education in different countries.

…as an intersection of the social sciences,


education and cross-national study.
MICHAEL SANDLER (1861-1943)

…in studying foreign system of education it


should not be forgotten that things outside
the school matter even more than things
inside; and that an education system is the
outcome of (societal) forces which have
been operated over an extended period of
time.
ISAAC KANDEL (1881-1965)

…education should not emphasize only on


educational set up, organization, administration,
methods, curriculum and teaching but also the
causes behind educational problems of
different countries and attempted solutions in
the light of their social, political, cultural and
national ideologies.
NATIONAL CHARACTER

EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
VERNON MALLINSON

…a systematic examination of other cultures


and other systems of education deriving from
these cultures in order to discover
resemblances and differences and why variant
solutions have been attempted to problems
that are common to all.
GEORGE BEREDAY (1920-1983)

…making sense out of the similarities and


differences among educational systems. It
catalogues educational methods across
national frontiers and in this catalogue each
country appears as one variant of the total store
of mankind's educational experiences.
PHILLIP E. JONES

…he notes that Comparative Education with


its rapidly increasing resources and its hope
for better methods seems admirably suited to
provide a more rational basis for the planning
of education.
EDMUND J. KING (1914-2002)

…takes the planning angle, when he


expresses the view that Comparative
Education is a discipline, which systematizes
our observations and conclusions in relation
to the shaping of the future.
