Course Syllabus

Abstract

The course was created with the objective of highlighting and explaining the main linkages between different approaches to building a successful education policy and implementation practices. The effective implementation of a well-designed education policy is a necessary precondition for societal and economic growth, and in the contemporary world, such kinds of growth are almost unreachable without the systematic implementation of innovative practices and ideas. The postindustrial economy has been going through a new cycle of knowledge-based economies where innovation-centric education is in high demand. There is much evidence that human development and the quality of education contribute to economic growth, no less than financial capital and direct investments. Thus, the emphasis now is on both qualitative and quantitative improvements, and there is as much concern with equity as with the efficiency of educational investment. The evaluation of education investments becomes even more complicated when we consider that yet another factor must be taken into account-the important links between education and other sectors. During this course, we will focus on the history and evolution of education as well as different concepts that help better understand the obstacles in the way of an education policy.
