Education Policy in the Digital Age

Book Description

This monograph examines the intersection of education policy and digital transformation across national and regional governance systems. Drawing on comparative analysis from fifteen countries, Elena Richter argues that structural inequities in digital access are both reflected in and reproduced by existing policy frameworks, and that meaningful reform requires rethinking the foundational premises of educational governance in the networked era. The book offers a rigorous theoretical framework alongside empirical case studies from Europe, East Asia, and the Global South.
