Abstract
This opening address, presented at a cross-national working meeting on the problematic impact of the international math education reform movement of the 1960s and 1970s, “new math,” sought to spell out the issues to be addressed by the meeting. Starting from an assumption of a limited success of the”new math” movement in the US, the paper sought to spell out the issues around systemic“reform” in national and/or sub-national educational systems. In particular, the paper addresses the issues around the the problem-finding, problem-solving, and implementation tasks of education systems in a context in which the delivery of existing educational services to population is always the operational priority of the system. How can such functions focused on change/reform within educational systems be institutionalized?
