High Achievement in a Cross-National Context.

Wilgosh, Lorraine

Education Canada, v33 n1 p4-9 Spr 1993

Raises questions about an industrial, competitive model of education in Alberta, Canada with the goal of being first on international achievement assessments. Suggests that global and societal benefits derive from an education that fosters the full development of the potential of all individuals, rather than the development of excellent test-taking skills.
