Abstract	This [...] collection [of four volumes] brings together a hundred authors from around the world to describe how 65 national education systems balance among freedom of parents to choose schools they have confidence in, autonomy of educators to shape distinctive education, and public accountability to ensure that every child and youth is educated effectively. "Educational freedom" is important because parents have a fundamental right to guide the development of their own children and therefore to choose a school in which they have full confidence. To deny that choice, or to make i[t] impossibly difficult for parents of modest means, is unjust and unworthy of a free society. "School autonomy" is important as the essential precondition for the creation of schools with a clearly-focused mission, schools in which staff and parents share the same understanding of why and how best to educate. Teachers find professional fulfillment in schools where they share a common vision with their colleagues." Accountability" for common standards is important because society has a strong interest in ensuring that youth are well prepared to contribute to civic life and the economy, and an obligation to ensure that no child or youth is harmed by an inadequate school. [...] This introductory volume includes background essays intended to illuminate why the three dimensions, and the relation among them, are of enduring significance, and also overviews on particular issues, drawing from the country profiles, and of regions of the world. Thus it is intended to provide a more in-depth discussion of the legal and the policy principles which undergird and are expressed in the commonalities and differences that can be observed among the countries.
