This important new work examines the link between teachers and educational administrators and planners. It considers how the teacher's concerns with the need and hopes of individual children can be reconciled with the planners' concerns for the needs and hopes of the wider society. Though based on events in Central America - notably the recent reforms in Costa Rica and Guatemala the analysis is highly relevant to events in all countries with developing education systems.
