At the crossroads of public trust and institutional responsibility, Accountability in Education presents a rigorous and timely examination of how educational systems answer to the communities they serve. This carefully curated anthology brings together a diverse range of scholarly perspectives that interrogate the mechanisms, philosophies, and practical challenges of accountability within educational administration and organisation — from the governance of individual schools to the broader architecture of national policy frameworks. Situated within the University of Queensland Press's respected series on Educational Administration and Organization, the collection argues that accountability is not merely a bureaucratic function but a profound ethical and social imperative. Chippendale and Wilkes assemble contributors who illuminate the tensions between autonomy and oversight, between professional judgment and public demand — leaving the reader to wrestle with the enduring question: to whom, ultimately, does education belong?
