Yearbook 2001 - Educational Research in Europe, the second yearbook of the European Educational Research Association (EERA), contains a selection of twenty research papers from twelve countries. This volume is organised into five sections: values in education, teacher education; teachers, learning and children and youth at risk. Collectively, the papers provide a unique series of snapshots of high quality investigations of key issues and concerns in policy and practice which is of relevance to educators in all countries.
This study provides new inputs to the debate and practice of foster care. It extracts lessons from countries that represent different kinds of economic and social development. Material is included on foster care experiences in developing countries, which tends to be informal and undocumented. Foster care is examined in the context of the family, social networks, the state and non-governmental organisations The discussion is set against the backdrop of international human development, in which the notion of empowerment of all stakeholders is prominent. A fundamental argument here is that foster care is best seen in the wider context of measures to protect children and to help them develop.
