Abstract
The essay entitled "A Researcher's Battle to Make Education More Resilient" reviews the educational research career of William Loxley who worked in international education for the past 45 years. His work led him from early days working in the Philippines and Vietnam, to Chicago Public Schools; and from World Bank, Ford Foundation, IEA, and ADB in Manila to research critical issues of academic achievement, school dropout, vocational education, computers in education, and institutional capacity-building around the world. Taken together, the research offered advice to school policy in the developing world that guided education expansion. Future challenges in international education are great, but they can be acted out from a firm foundation of educational research serving the world community.
期刊介绍：
The purpose of the International Journal of Educational Development is to foster critical debate about the role that education plays in development. IJED seeks both to develop new theoretical insights into the education-development relationship and new understandings of the extent and nature of educational change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of understanding the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and development. Orthodox notions of development as being about growth, industrialisation or poverty reduction are increasingly questioned. There are competing accounts that stress the human dimensions of development.
