MA Module EPDM27: Understanding the mission and vision of international schools

Legitimacy and Diversity in International Schools

This episode explores how international schools differ in their contexts and how these differences impact legitimacy, stakeholders, and curriculum. Bunnell, Fertig, and James’ 2016 study guides our discussion about evolving types of international schools and the institutional forces shaping them. We critically examine the implications of rapid expansion and legitimacy challenges in global schooling environments.
