Theme: Educational Quality: Global Imperatives and Contested Visions
The idea of educational quality or quality education has become paramount worldwide. It is seen in the inclusion of 'quality' goals in all the major international education forums, in the sharpened focus on the content and outcomes of schooling in domestic educational agendas, and in the expanding profile of large-scale cross-national testing regimes and diverse global rankings. The concern for quality is conspicuous in scholarship, policy and practice at all levels of formal education and in relation to non-formal education. This year we will bring CIES members' diverse perspectives and insights to bear on the idea of educational quality--its contested definitions, competing visions and global imperatives.
