Synopsis
In terms of education, how does one country's children compare to another's? This is the question being asked by educators, employers, and parents in all countries. There is no shortage of anecdotal views on the subject, but reliable evidence is hard to come by. In this book the authors show what pupils in England and France are doing in the classroom. In the process, they draw on a much overlooked research resource -- the pupils themselves, whose voices articulate numerous valuable perceptions.
