Abstract	"Since its inception as an academic field, comparative education has [ dealt] with research on educational transfer.... It is important to recall, however, that in addition to a long history of research on educational transfer, we look back on a strong tradition of skepticism. Numerous warnings have been articulated about borrowing, whether wholesale, selective or eclectic.... In this paper the author attempts to dig under the surface of educational transfer in order to examine how much of what has been borrowed has, in fact, been implemented.... One of the central purposes of this article is to examine the ways in which educational transfer is used to legitimize contested reforms and to consider its effects on both lending and borrowing systems.... In the first section of this paper the author attempts to reappropriate research on educational transfer for comparative education by examining the debate on convergence that has contributed so visibly to the growth of research on educational transfer.... In the second section, she proceeds to a more detailed review of the assumptions that have guided research on educational borrowing. Depending on a theoretical framework that one uses to interpret educational borrowing, different insights regarding the international convergence of education systems surface. Thus in some parts of this section the author offers the same examples but applies contrasting frameworks of interpretation.... In the third section the author points out to issues that have been rarely studied in comparative education research. First she proposes to extend the notion of transfer by including the transfer of discourses.... Secondly there is ample evidence that dependent states have been and continue to be used as test-sites for school- reforms that are contested in lending systems. This unexplored territory has the potential to lay bare the circularity of educational transfer.... This directs the attention toward contested educational policies that have been exported, implemented in another context, and then reintroduced. (DIPF/Orig.).
