`This is a very exciting volume. Education is a vibrant, fast paced field in Economics, with diverse areas of focus, but all with critical impact on real lives. The Editors have brought some of the world's best together to deliver a sharp focus on these latest developments, but with a critical eye on policy implications. The linking of current academic thinking to policy is a distinctive feature of this Handbook.' -- Colm Harmon, The University of Sydney, Australia
