Michael Fullan, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto:

‘Governing Education is a unique and powerful book that provides an insider’s view of the workings of government. Benjamin Levin addresses virtually every major educational policy issue that face governments and society, and each is presented with insightful analysis, insider and personal observation, and links to the bigger policy picture. A substantial contribution to the field of public policy.’
