Geography of Education
Geography of Education
Geography of Education is an important book. It is important for several reasons, not
the least being Colin Brock’s considerable background in international and comparative
education and his understanding and appreciation of geography as a discipline and its
relevance in and to studies of education. The increasing emphases on place and space in
education, in relation to the sites of education, learning in formal and informal situations,
the range of scales at which education can be examined, and the variety of locations for
research are drawn together in this book. It is global in scope and offers perspectives on
diversity and sustainability alongside development and internationalization. Brock makes
the point (p.9) that this book is for educators and geographers, arguing that both need to
recognize the pertinence of studies of place, scale, space and location that are inherent in
educational provision and activities. Geography is taught in schools and other institutions
across the globe in one context or another, and geography is necessary in understanding
where children and young people are educated, their access to education, the resourcing of
education and local and national policies that affect their education.
