Google Preview: This book addresses the European Union's desire for a unified approach to education and its impact on a national level. It explores the origins of the EU's present interest in education and also addresses the tensions that underlie its policies. The author takes issue both with the 'Euro-enthusiasts', who he believes have failed to ask serious questions about the purpose and viability of the EU's policies, as well as with the 'Euro-sceptics', who he feels underestimate the twin challenges of globalization and reconstruction that the EU policies attempt to address.; Early steps - the background; educating a Europe of the people - the purposes of Europe;s education policies; the hesitant evolution of the EU's policies and programmes in the 1990s; Europe as a learning society? - an assessment of the policies in oractice; towards a Europeanization of education and training?; Writing about EU programmes in a manner which can hold one's attention is difficult and Field has made a valiant effort to overcome the 'glazed eyeball syndrome' which afflicts readers of, and about, such programmes or more particularly their acronyms... What we have in this book is an enlightened attitude towards the EU within which education and training needs are linked to restructuring of the labour market. The book provides graphs and statistics on student mobility, the major education and training programmes (useful for anyone trying to understand the EU acronyms) and EU funded research. What Field has attempted to do is to question what, at first glance, looks like the successful implementation of EU programmes by placing them in context.; Download; Google Preview content
