"""This book provides a clear, comprehensive, and extensive account of the many aspects of education and its development in the Philippines. The focus is particularly on the use and development of language policies--both the use of different languages within educational settings and its importance in an understanding of the different cultures within multi-ethnic and therefore multi-lingual societies or communities. The book is clearly of considerable value not simply to those engaged in the education of students in the Philippines but universally throughout the world for those seeking to understand the increasingly multi-ethnic and multi-linguistic societies in which they learn and live. I highly recommend this book."" --Richard Pring, University of Oxford"
