工业化国家的教育政策都处于变化之中。世界各地的政府都在重新审视提供教育的许多方面。本文探讨了国家及其下属管辖区（如美国的州或加拿大的省）在教育变革和改革的性质方面相互学习的程度。这份报告是参考了加拿大、美国和英国的正式政策文件和已出版的政策文献，以及我作为政府教育官员的经验，并透过访问和广泛接触其他两个国家的同事而撰写的。我的结论是，相互学习不一定是一个很好的描述运动的政策，并建议类比疾病和流行病可能是一个有用的方式来思考正在发生的事情。
Education policy is in a state of change across the industralized countries. Governments everywhere are re-examining many aspects of the provision of schooling. This paper examines the extent to which countries and their subjurisdictions (such as states in the US or provinces in Canada) are learning from each other about the nature of change and reform in education. It draws on formal policy documents and published policy literature in Canada, the US and Britain and on my experience as a government official in education as well as through visits to and extensive contact with colleagues in the other two countries. I conclude that mutual learning is not necessarily a good description of the movement of policies and suggest that analogies to disease and epidemics may be a useful way of thinking about what is happening.
