Dealing with Post-Socialist Educational Reform Package from Baku to Ulaanbaatar
2004 Organization: International Institute for Educational Policy, Planning and Management (EPPM) Countries involved: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan The purpose of the project is to support the writing of a book that chronicles the educational interventions in OSI's national foundations in the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Mongolia from three perspectives: responses to educational reforms in the transformation period that are strikingly similar throughout the region; unique repertoire of strategies used to build open societies through education reform initiatives in centralized, authoritarian contexts; unique role of being the largest, nongovernmental organization and as a national player in educational reform. These multiple perspectives are used as threads to introduce an analytical element into the country-specific case studies. A book with eight case studies written by local experts (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan) that focuses on the OSI response to the post-socialist education reform package will be developed.
