Il faut enfin voir chaque volcan comme le résultat superficiel des mouvements internes de grande ampleur qui affectent notre planète d

The view of those close to the purse strings seems to be that educational research has become increasingly irrelevant to policy development. Consequently, in a political climate of best value for money, the allocation of funding for research now tends to be accompanied by criteria which require, for example, engagement with users, measured impact and knowledge transformation.
