Extract

Many scholars of international relations admit to the necessity of making international expertise concentrated in colleges and universities available to the school systems. While there may be a strong consensus among academics to support this as a goal of their institution, it is in many cases not regarded as a priority, nor is it easily accomplished. According to Humphrey Tonkin and Jane Edwards in The World in the Curriculum, “Creating effective cooperation between high schools and colleges is difficult, because of both bureaucratic incompatibilities and a rather ill-considered professional dignity on the part of college teachers.” It must be added that the high school teachers' attitude may also prevent a viable link between the two institutions.
