TL;DR: In this article, a model explaining the structure of the education system which shows the components of “the” education system and their interrelationships has resultantly not been developed.
Abstract: The education system per se, despite its central position in the field of study proclaimed by the scholarly community of Comparative and International Education, has never taken a central stage/role in Comparative and International Education scholarly enquiry. Through the various stages of its history, Comparative and International Education research has either focused on the societal-contextual forces (geography, demography, social system, economy, political system, religio-philosophical viewpoints) shaping education or on the societal outcomes/effects of education, to such an extent that the education system has always remained the blind spot in the centre of the field. A model explaining the structure of the education system which shows the components of “the” education system and their interrelationships has resultantly not been developed. This article attempts to address this shortcoming by discussing and outlining the structure of the education system on the basis of recent epistemological developments. Four components of the education system, along with their elements, are identified: education system policy, organisation and administration, structure for teaching, and support services. Key words: Comparative Education; education; education system; post-modernism. --- Obrazovni sustav per se, usprkos svojoj sredisnjoj ulozi za koju se zauzimaju strucnjaci unutar Komparativne i međunarodne edukacije nikada nije bio u žaristu znanstvenih istraživanja u spomenutom podrucju. Istraživanja unutar Komparativne i međunarodne edukacije do sada su, u razlicitim razdobljima svoje povijesti, bila usredotocena ili na drustveno-kontekstne snage (geografiju, demografiju, drustveni sustav, ekonomiju, politicki sustav, religijsko-filozofski svjetonazor) koje oblikuju obrazovanje ili na ishode/ucinke obrazovanja na drustvo do te mjere da je obrazovni sustav uvijek ostajao nejasan u odnosu na glavni dio toga podrucja. Stoga jos uvijek nije razvijen model koji bi objasnio strukturu obrazovnog sustava prikazujuci komponente ,,obrazovnog sustava“ i njihove međusobne odnose. U ovom se radu nastoji istaknuti taj nedostatak putem rasprave i prikaza strukture obrazovnog sustava na temelju novijih epistemoloskih razvojnih ideja. Identificirane su cetiri komponente obrazovnog sustava, kao i njihovi elementi, a to su: politika obrazovnog sustava, organizacija i administracija, struktura potrebna za nastavu i službe podrske. Kljucne rijeci: komparativna edukacija; obrazovanje; obrazovni sustav; postmodernizam

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss how the mainstreaming of the African Indigenous Knowledge systems (AIKS) into the formal and non-formal educational curricula could enhance the achievement of Education for All (EFA).
Abstract: This book discusses how the mainstreaming of the African Indigenous Knowledge systems (AIKS) into the formal and non-formal educational curricula could enhance the achievement of Education for All (EFA). Many countries, have not achieved the EFA goals. Quality, access, finance, negative traditional practices, use of curricula of assimilation from former colonial powers and credibility of the education offered have been cited as some of the reasons. In this book, particular reference is made to the forms of AIKS practised by the Chewa people of Zambia. The book shows that the Chewa people had an organised system of education, with family, a reflection of the community, as a starting point. This was life long education where everybody was learning and teaching, with learners moving from one phase of learning to another all the time. This book shows that both the school and AIKS are criticalcomponents in the quest for the provision of quality education for all. Theories, models and frameworks of a possible hybridization of AIKS and WKS have been suggested in this book.

TL;DR: The comparison, made by Dr. W. D. Jeans in your last issue*, of Gray's Anatomy with the latest revision of its American offspring is an interesting exercise; but his conclusion that the original is a ‘better buy’, though pleasing to the producers of the “British” Gray’s Anatomy, is based upon the false premise that a second version is necessary.
Abstract: The comparison, made by Dr. W. D. Jeans in your last issue*, of Gray's Anatomy with the latest revision of its American offspring is an interesting exercise; but his conclusion that the original is a ‘better buy’, though pleasing to the producers of the “British” Gray's Anatomy, a much larger and more up-to-date book, is based upon the false premise that a second version is necessary. Here a little history helps: the first edition, published by Parker and the copyright at once purchased by Longmans, was immediately popular and must have contributed much to the profits of the latter firm.
