Abstract
Reforming national education systems have become a global phenomenon. This chapter describes the emergence of the global education reform movement (GERM) and its main manifestations in national education policies and reforms. The aim of this chapter is to show how GERM has evolved since the 1990s as a neoliberal educational change orthodoxy that has become challenged by the international comparative data. Conclusion is that the success of whole system change depends on national policymakers’ understanding of the difference between wrong and right drivers in planned education reforms.
