Abstract	The concern in this study is with the ways in which different countries allow of promote educational freedom - the freedom to establish schools and the freedom to choose schools for one's children - and the ways in which the claims of feedom are balanced against those of social justice and educational standards.... Therefore, it was enquired especially about nongovernmental schools, but without neglecting the ways in which freedom may be exercised in the sector of schools operated by the government.... [This volume] provides comparative information on how 28 national educational systems handle the tension between two major vectors of school reform: on the one hand, an emphasis on high common standards for the content and quality of education; on the other an emphasis upon school-level decision-making and consequent diversity among schools. How does educational freedom, in these various aspects, guide national policies? How do non-governmental schools deal with legal requirements for accountability, personnel policy, admission criteria for pupils, curriculum and pedagogy? The authors recognize that these different approaches to school reform, while both essential to a healthy school system, do not always fit neatly together and are indeed often in conflict. Finding ways to keep them in a dynamic and fruitful balance is the primary challenge for educational policy. (DIPF/Orig.).
