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 <i>Teach for All </i>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 <i>Teach for Bangladesh </i>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 <i>Teach for Bangladesh</i> 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.
