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 has
accumulated vast experience as overseer of education programs
throughout South East Europe for the Open Society Institute and
Soros Foundations Network.
