"Education and Social Inequality in the Global Culture" is the first volume of the 12-volume book series "Globalisation, Comparative Education and Policy Research," edited by Joseph Zajda and his team. This academic book provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex relationship between education, social status, and globalization. It highlights key educational policy issues and examines the impacts of globalization processes on education systems and political reforms. The editors aim to deepen the diverse discourses arising from the interplay of globalization, social stratification, and education. At a time when the effects of globalization on education policy and reforms are crucial, this book offers valuable insights into the intended and unintended consequences of these developments for individuals, educational institutions, and policymakers worldwide. The discussion of national identity, language, and citizenship in the context of education policy is also addressed, making the book an important resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of education.
