Comparisons are, it is said, odious, particularly
to the objects compared; nevertheless, the basis
of all knowledge is comparison.

which does not correspond to any strict
normative definition.

5. BOOK’S STRENGTHS

22. 22 7. CRITICALANALYSIS
The overall content of the book is very informative and engaging with
lots of references, examples, models and approaches. The purpose of
this book is to provide a foundational overview Comparative Education
level; to explain the essential principles of Comparative and its
development, to describe the processes used to put these principles into
practice, and to offer examples of their practical application in a manner
that exceeds any single Educational system.

23. 23 8. CONCLUSION
However, I am familiar with Comparative education
in international prospect, after reading this book I
realize that it was worth reading. It has enlightened
my mind with different Comparative Process, their
research phases, critical analysis activities and
approaches that I never heard of before. Especially
the students comparison skills and 21st Century
information about the different comparison technique
and approaches are just worth knowing. I can say,
this is a much-needed book for the teachers, faculty
members, administrators, and R&D Experts.

24. 24
I strongly recommend this book to all educationist, master
trainers, stakeholders, administrators and critical Experts
who are involved with any type of comparative studies to
follow this book in conducting webinar as this book will
help them to overcome all the deficiencies, which they are
faced before or during any country system analysis. As
well as it will also boost their knowledge regarding
conducting of comparative education in 21st Century
Challenges. This book also includes examples and
recommendations for practical application.
