Learning to Change: The Experience of Transforming Education in South East Europe - Hardcover

A collection of first-person narratives by specialists in the field of education in South East Europe. The contributors are recognized leaders in civil society, government, academia and schools. Their works chronicle the profound effect armed conflict, political transition, and the increasing openness the region has experienced on education. It is a significant achievement as it is the work of individuals who are involved in the field and have a first hand perspective on issues of education in the region. The essays shed light on the reality of the educational reforms: they are far from beeing linear progressive processes, on the contrary, they are very often paradoxical and even controversial.

Terrice Bassler oversees education programs throughout South-East Europe for the Open Society Institute and Soros Foundations Network. She is also a visiting fellow at the Institute of Education in London.
