- Abstract
- This essay discusses the relation between the global, regional, and local contexts of policymaking in education as observed in the two contrasting cases of teacher education in England and France. This is done by drawing on existing academic literature, and empirical examples drawn from research conducted as part of the TeachersCareers project1 (see Helgetun, 2021 for an in-depth presentation of the research methodology that informed the discussion presented here), to construct a socio-historical narrative. The literature was identified based on a systematic literature reviews on the topic of teacher policy (Sørensen and Dumay, 2021) conducted within the project, as well as discussions with leading authors in the field in both England and France. Due to the format, some of the information presented here is brief, however, sources are provided should the reader desire to read further about for example teacher education provision and policymaking in England and France. As such, this essay can be seen as providing an over- view of, and entry point for, scholars who desire further knowledge on the interaction between the global and the local
