Symposium
Contribution
This paper sets out the national context for five subsequent papers on sector specific education reform strategies. It briefly surveys the various waves of reform in secondary and higher education and situates them in successive national strategies for economic and social development including the recent national strategy for 2050. It also looks at how economic and political choices have influenced some educational decisions. These include opting to join the Bologna process, the pursuit of tri-lingualism and moves towards increased institutional autonomy. The paper offers a stock take of changes to date that can serve as a backdrop for more detailed surveys on the immediate and intermediate priorities of further innovation and reform in secondary education, school leadership, teacher education and professional development and higher education.
