Sociology of education

Abstract

There are various international encyclopedias and handbooks on the sociology of education available to education researchers worldwide, encompassing an immense and irreproducible body of knowledge. However, education is as much embedded in a certain region’s society as it is within global phenomena. Th is volume has been compiled by a group of education researchers, and aims to identify the most important factors affecting the processes of education, based on research on the social reality of the Central and Eastern European region. Th e chapters of this book are arranged into three thematic units.
