World Yearbook of Education 1966: Church and State in Education (World Yearbook of Education)
by George Z. F. Bereday Joseph A. LauwerysFirst published in 2005. Broadly speaking, church-state relations in education turn nowadays upon two chief issues: I. Should religion be taught in state schools? And if so, may the state interfere with the teaching? 2. In countries where separate schools, under church control, exist should they have a share of public funds? Church and state issues flare up anew whenever there appears a repressive government action or a dynamic drive of the churches for a larger share of privileges. Both occur frequently enough to make this World Year Book a lively read.

World Yearbook of Education 1969: Examinations (World Yearbook of Education)
by Joseph A. Lauwerys and David G. ScanlonFirst Published in 2005. Almost everywhere policies designed to broaden access to education and to promote equality of opportunity are now pursued. In consequence the importance of examinations grows, since success in them determines entry to higher education and thus to professional posts. They are therefore a major instrument of social mobility and promotion which affects social structure by applying criteria of selection nearly always accepted unconsciously and uncritically. The aim of this text in selecting Examinations as the theme of the 1969 WORLD YEAR BOOK, was to present a comparative analysis of the way in which examinations are devised, administered and assessed, to find out why we are examining, and to look at the ways in which we examine to see if these are efficient, relevant and reliable.
