Dating from 1980, this book was written in response to a major study by the international Evaluation Association of achievement by education syllabuses worldwide in six key school subjects, including English. Among the contributors, Alex Inkeles criticises the IEA study for its insufficient analysis', but commends the exercise for its challenges to popular assumptions about educational achievement and the role of teachers.
