culture, and society through the vehicle of educational systems of
emerging and diverse twenty-first century nations, and their quest
for educational and school reform. Sociologists have long held that
one of the primary institutions that reflect the values and beliefs
of a society or a nation is its state (public) educational system.

cross-cultural understanding necessary in order to appreciate the
goals and mission of educational systems in varied and diverse
nations today.
