Reflections on Comparative Education

Of late, the value of using literature to enrich studies in comparative education gained popularity.

The present book highlights some vital issues pertaining to comparative education e.g., preschool education; training of teachers; comparative education and literature; educational reforms; administration; and education for living etc.
