Review Quotes:
"In Hard Questions on Global Educational Change, Sahlberg, Hasak, and Rodriguez have provided a needed reminder that 21st Century education systems should be viewed within an international context, and that such systems will face ever changing hard questions. This reminder is particularly important for education students who wish to become change-makers . . . provides an excellent introduction to the preparation and encouragement of both undergraduate and graduate education students to become 21st Century changemakers."
