The international legal basis of educational leaders without borders

Abstract

This chapter addresses the importance of education and educational law to the countries' systems of schooling, and therefore society. It is divided into three areas: (1) basic educational considerations; (2) comparative law and legal systems-a comparison of legal systems around the world recognizing these legal structures are the foundation under which societies operate; and (3) the evolution of educational law and specific examples worldwide. It is incumbent for the ELWB to be aware of the mores and laws of the countries in which networking activities are occurring. As scholars we write to inform policy makers in an attempt to effect change.
