Abstract
This book is one of the several volumes that emanated from the diverse thematic groups that provided coherence to the program of the World Congress of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES) held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2013. This congress, as well as previous ones, provided opportunities for educational researchers, practitioners, and those working in policy environments from around the world to share and discuss their work in their respective areas of scholarly interest and practice.
