Abstract

"The Netherlands is by any standard a global success story. A nation without significant natural resources and where most people live below the sea level has been a beacon of human development, peace and social justice throughout the centuries. The Dutch Way brings a much awaited story about the role of schools, teachers and education in general to be read by international audiences. This book is a must-read for anyone seriously interested in understanding global education issues today and it is especially enlightening to those looking for alternative routes to excellence and equity in education. Written by leading scholars and educators this book provides a eyeopening narrative that should be also heard by politicians and decision makers as well."
