The volume collects the papers of colleagues, friends and collaborators submitted during the conference "L'infanzia nella figura di Enzo Catarsi" ("Childhood in the figure of Enzo Catarsi), held in Florence on April 29, 2014. The conference was organised by the Department of Education and Psychology of the University of Florence, in collaboration with the Tuscany Region and the Istituto degli Innocenti, to remember the scholar Enzo Catarsi. With his death, the Department, the Municipalities of Tuscany, the community of pedagogists, the students and his closest collaborators are missing a reference figure and a personality of great scientific, cultural and human importance, with high educational ideals, great humanity, optimism, lightness and enthusiasm.

This book reviews the state of education in Myanmar over the past decade and a half as the country is undergoing profound albeit incomplete transformation. Set within the context of Myanmar's peace process and the wider reforms since 2012, Marie Lall's analysis of education policy and practice serves as a case study on how the reform programme has evolved. Drawing on over 15 years of field research carried out across Myanmar, the book offers a cohesive inquiry into government and non-government education sectors, the reform process, and how the transition has played out across schools, universities and wider society. It casts scrutiny on changes in basic education, the alternative monastic education, higher education and teacher education, and engages with issues of ethnic education and the debate on the role of language and the local curriculum as part of the peace process. In so doing, it gives voice to those most affected by the changing landscape of Myanmar's education and wider reform process: the students and parents of all ethnic backgrounds, teachers, teacher trainees and university staff that are rarely heard. Marie Lall argues that, despite a commitment to greater equality and equity expressed in the Ministry of Education's policy documents, Myanmar has missed a historic opportunity to make use of education reform to engage with deep-seated social injustices. Inequalities persist in the long-term outcomes for poorer sections of society and between the majority Bamars and ethnic nationality communities. This is the portrait of a country constrained by internal tensions and competing international priorities that serve to divert the professed course towards social justice.

One of the main school goals is to assist all students in pursuing a common core of basic targets, with respect for each pupil's ways of learning, especially for the ones who have any special educational need. This book collects papers, submitted at III edition of the Seminar "INVALSI data: a research tool" held in Bari from 26th to 28th October 2018, in order to investigate Italian students' features, such as gender, migrant and socio-economic-cultural backgrounds. Thanks to INVALSI data, researchers and teachers can shed light on differences and similarities among students about their school results and academic achievement. As a Statistical Service, we hope chapters of this could be a useful tool for school research.

"Improving, assuring, and maintaining the quality and relevance of education and training in Public Administration has attracted increasing attention among PA scholars and practitioners worldwide. The Handbook for Ethiopian public administration program accreditation is a follow-up to the first handbook on Ethiopian Public Administration. The new handbook zooms in on how to improve, assure, and accredit PA education and training programs in Ethiopia. It is consistent with the Pan-Africanism and African Union's Agenda 2063 and contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDGs 4 and 16. Together with the handbook Public administration in Ethiopia (2020), the current follow-up volume is a valuable stepping stone for PA teaching and PA research in Ethiopia and therefore essential reading for students, practitioners, and theorists interested in public administration, public policy, and sustainable development."--Page 4 of cover.

Sandra Gilgan’s Utopia in the Revival of Confucian Education examines the classics-reading movement in contemporary China as not only driven by attraction to certain elements of tradition, but even more by caesuras in the past that caused people to detach from their cultural roots. The author argues that activism in the classics-reading movement arises from an entanglement of past, present, and future. Social and political upheaval in the near past of the twentieth century caused people to disconnect from their traditional culture and ways of living, resulting in the present need to reconnect with perceived “original” culture and tradition from the more distant past. Through peoples’ imaginaries of a better future that are informed by past traditions, new ways of the past find entrance into life and education in study halls and academies. This new study draws on multi-sited ethnographic field research in ten Chinese cities, with the broadest database currently available. It combines theoretical elements from anthropology, history, sociology and sinology in a grounded theory approach. As an interdisciplinary study, the book is of interest for academics in Asian and Chinese studies, heritage and memory studies, religious studies, educational sciences, history, and cultural anthropology, as well as social and political sciences.
