Description
Originally published in 1989, this book has been fully revised and updated. It highlights the advantages and problems of double-shift systems, drawing in experiences in a wide range of countries. Single-shift systems are compared with four- and five-shift systems. Double-Shift Schooling is intended for national and regional policy makers, and for head teachers and others responsible for running double-shift systems.
“Reflects extensive research and revisions that make it a most worthwhile handbook for policy makers, planners, and school-level managers.” International Review of Education
“Extremely useful, readable, systematic presentation, accessible content and argument… With its clear structure, examples and pictorial representation of arguments its is a very useful text for teaching, training and self-study.” Comparative Education
“This new edition of Bray’s well-known book is a useful policy-making tool in the hands of people in the upper echelons of education ministries. It can also serve as a wonderful resource manual for regional school administrators and school principals of multiple-shift schools.” SARE (Southern African Review of Education)
