Enacting equity in education : towards a comparison of equitable practices in different European local contexts

• This report is the outcome of a working network coordinated by Lázaro Moreno Herrera at Örebro University, Sweden, which included researchers from different European countries. Is also a result from a research project funded by The Swedish Research Council. “Enacting Equity in Europe: Towards a Comparison of Equitable Practices in Different Local Contexts” presents social aspects of the educational policies of the end of the 1990s and the early 2000s in different European countries. The traditional egalitarian ethos and structure of the elementary schooling is today challenged in different ways by the arising managerialism in educational institutions. Equality is regarded by the authors as a dimension of social justice which is worth to strive for as a basic condition for the democratic sustainability of the society. The report presents different approaches and practices in pursuit of equity in education. The cases are from Belgium, Britain Finland, France and Sweden.
