Synopsis This subject focuses on the ways education is shaped by and comes to be understood by, local, regional and global forces. The approach is comparative in two senses. First, students are required to develop a good knowledge of at least two countries. The countries must be chosen from two of three categories - Australia, Asia and the Pacific Islands. Second, students are required to make a comparison of local and external interpretations of education and society.
