PREFACE The Conference This volume contains papers submitted to the 8th International Conference on “Comparative Education and Teacher Training”, organized by the Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, 9 – 12 June 2010. The overall goal of the conference is to focus academic discussions on the role of Comparative Education and new practices in teacher training. The conference objectives are: 1) to examine different approaches to the role of Comparative Education as a science, research methodology, and academic discipline; 2) to develop linkages with colleagues who work in various teacher training programs at universities, colleges, and institutes around the world; 3) to outline prospects for the development of education policy and school reforms at the institutional, regional, national and international level; 4) to discuss new practices in higher education, lifelong learning and social inclusion. Organizing this Conference is our way of being an integral part of the international comparative education community. The Bulgarian Comparative Education Society The Bulgarian Comparative Education Society (BCES) was founded in Sofia in October 1991. Since March 1992 it has been a constituent member-society of the World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES). The BCES is very small. It is perhaps the smallest society in the WCCES. Yet despite its size, the BCES plays an active role in the Southeast European region and keeps close contacts with the WCCES Secretariat and many member-societies. The Bulgarian Comparative Education Society is registered as a non-profit, nongovernmental organization. It focuses on: • organizing conferences on comparative education • doing comparative education studies • coordinating international research projects • supporting publications on problems of education • organizing study visits to Bulgaria for foreign students and teachers • publishing books on comparative and international education BCES topics of special interest are: • comparative education as a university discipline • pre-service and in-service teacher training • education policy at international, national, regional and local level • new practices in preschool and primary education • new practices in secondary education • reforms in higher education 9

I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to all participants in the BCES 8th International Conference for their contributions. Special thanks are also due to the Thematic Section Chairs – Charl Wolhuter, Bruno Leutwyler, Marinela Mihova, and James Ogunleye – for their constructive cooperation in the conference organization and editorial work on the different parts of the book.
