Abstract

In this final chapter we first discuss briefly the nature of the research we undertook. We do this to try and ensure for ourselves, and to assure others, that the implications we are drawing from it are warranted. Then, we summarise the key findings from the book in terms of their practical implications for nations, school systems, educational leaders, teachers, and families.
