Summary:

The booklet provides an insight on the origins and characteristics of international schools, on curriculum and assessment, student and teaching staff, and on the management, leadership and governance of these schools. The booklet also discusses how international schools (usually private and fee-paying) might develop in the future against a backdrop of the growing forces of globalization and other international influences. In all cases, attention is drawn to the implications of the issues discussed for both policy-makers and planners in national and international contexts.--Publisher's description.
