Global-National Networks in Education Policy Summary

Global-National Networks in Education Policy: Primary Education, Social Enterprises and 'Teach for Bangladesh' by Dr Rino Wiseman Adhikary (Deakin University, Australia)

Set against the backdrop of globalization and global philanthropy, this book offers new perspectives on the sociological dynamics and governance implications of 'social entrepreneurial' policy in education. It examines the spatialities, relationships and culture that powerfully mediated the making and localisation of 'Teach for Bangladesh'. This globalised and philanthropy-backed reform model is based on 'Teach for America/All' (TfA) which promotes social entrepreneurial solutions to educational problems across continents. The authors demonstrate how TfB's policy model travelled through networks of diaspora, finance, technology and media and became established in Bangladesh through complex policy work. The book documents empirical research from Bangladesh to draw out broader implications in relation to education policy-making and policy content in today's globalizing world. The book also contributes to ongoing debates in contemporary comparative education about North-South dialogue, policy mobility and transfer, philanthrocapitalism, and international teacher education.

Global-National Networks in Education Policy Reviews

The world (of policy) is changing, and this poignant book highlights some of the many ways that policy networks, imaginaries, imbrications, and actors are coalescing to reconstitute the field of education. * Matthew A.M. Thomas, Senior Lecturer in Comparative Education and Sociology of Education, University of Sydney, Australia *
The book masterfully documents the birth of a new type of NGO: one that is closer to the political elites than to the people. The global Teach for All movement recruits university graduates to become social entrepreneurs who will eventually reform or revamp the public sector. In a country that gained international acclaim for the mother of all NGOs - BRAC - and its vast number of community-based NGOs, the success story of Teach for Bangladesh is even more astounding. The authors draw on their case study to illustrate key concepts in comparative policy studies, globalization studies, and sociology of education. * Gita Steiner-Khamsi, Professor of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA *
This book provides a richly detailed empirical investigation of the way Teach for Bangladesh is reconfiguring the Bangladeshi public sector. The authors challenge a binary of methodological nationalism and globalism, identifying, and conceptualising, new spatialities and temporalities of globalisation that the field of comparative education urgently needs to recognise. * Kalervo N. Gulson, Professor of Education, University of Sydney, Australia *
