Encyclopedia of Education (8 Volumes) by Macmillan Reference Library [Repost]

The primary focus appears to be on U.S. practices and institutions, from preschool to higher education. However, international coverage can be found throughout the set in articles on countries or regions (Canada, South Asia), as well as within topics (e.g., "Comparing Science Education Requirements around the World" in the essay on Science Education, or Rural Education: International Context).Readers will have to look elsewhere for an overview of some subjects, such as adult education and academic libraries, for which there are no entries.
