Reviews

`The book is worth reading so as to understand the differentiations in secondary education. Every chapter dealing with the country specific case studies provides a qualitatively rich description of the respective secondary schooling systems and the major institutional changes they have undergone in recent decades. This book will definitely be of great interest to researchers, policy makers and students working in the area of secondary education.' -- Journal of Educational Planning and Administration `The strength of this exceptional volume is that readers will be able to find out about one of the major social facts resulting in educational inequalities - and to do this in a way that is not only free of ideological implications but also based completely on sound empirical evidence.' -- From the Foreword by Rolf Becker, University of Bern, Switzerland
