ENThe purpose of BAHP’s third book is to provide research-based articles about turbulent changes in education after the Baltic states regained independence. Historical review reveals the complexity of the post-1980s. The four sections demonstrate the various interests of historians of pedagogy, and their choice of topics reflect current studies and scope of activity. In total, changes in the history of education in the Baltic states are comparable: democracy meant development of new laws and regulations in education, creation of new study programmes and curricula, and preparation and publishing of textbooks and teaching/learning aids. However, a review and comparison of results achieved in pedagogy and educational sciences during the last 30 years indicate that each country also has its own specific traits that may seem interesting to BAHP members.
