Governing schools in the Global South: Policies, actors and practices

Governing Schools in the Global South: Policies, actors and practices

The final colloquium of the MOPRACS (“Models, practices and cultures of school institutions in West Africa” 2012-2015) research programme due to take place in Bordeaux in 2015, will interrogate the profound changes which education sectors in the South have undergone during the last fifteen years. The adoption of an international agenda centred on universal access to quality basic education within the Millennium Development Goals framework has resulted in significant modification of the nature and forms of school governance.

We invite submission of abstracts of 500 words in English or French, including a description of research methods and analysis. Priority will be given to proposals based on original sources and recent fieldwork. The deadline for submission is 20th June 2014.
