Description

About the Author Lucy Bailey is Associate Professor and Head of Education Studies at Bahrain Teachers College, University of Bahrain. She is the author of Third Culture Teacher (2019) and lead author of Access to Higher Education: Refugees’ Stories from Malaysia (2018). Product Description International schooling has expanded rapidly in recent years, with the number of students educated in international schools projected to reach seven million by 2023. Drawing on the authors extensive experience conducting research in international schools across the globe, this book critically analyses the concept of international schooling and its rapid growth in the 21st century. It identifies the forces driving this trend, asking to what extent this is an enterprise that meets the needs of a global elite, and examining its relationship to national systems of education. The author demonstrates how wider social inequalities around socio\-economic difference, ethnicity, race and gender are reproduced through international schooling and examines the theory that international curricula are in fact Western curricula. Presenting new research from countries including Russia, Malaysia, the UAE, the UK, and Bahrain, the author explores ways in which international schools adapt to local cultural contexts and examines the views of parents, students, teachers and school leaders towards the education that they provide. Review "Lucy Bailey invites stakeholders in international schools to critically examine their likely contribution to global inequality and, equipped with this perspective, suggests pathways to support agendas for progressivism and equity in education. This lucid book should be essential reading for all international school stakeholders whether educators, parents, governors, or investors." --Darren Bryant, Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Education Policy and Leadership, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong"The distinction of international schools and their breath-taking growth appears to have outstripped professional safeguards and lived ethics. While the optics of the industry remain pedantically mired in systemised injustices and inequities, Lucy Bailey takes firm aim at a sector in need of a soul, not a mission statement. Bravo!" --Dr Alexander Gardner-McTaggart, Lecturer in Educational Leadership, The University of Manchester, UK
