Space, Place and Scale in the Study of Education

The term ‘space’ is inherently geographical. Educational provision and activity takes place within both formal and non-formal spaces. Understanding what goes on depends on the scale at which it is observed, ranging from individuals to global outreach. This constitutes the geography of educational reality. This book includes a theoretical background, plus a sample of situations including school level, policy and administration, inequitable access, education hubs, and small states. It offers an introduction to a fairly neglected member of the family of education foundation disciplines, the geography of education. This book was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education.
