    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Teachers and Teacher Education in the Post-Soviet Context of Kazakhstan explores the rich and evolving history of teacher education in Kazakhstan, from its deep-rooted traditions and pre-Soviet foundations to Soviet-era transformations and post-Soviet reforms designed to meet the demands of the 21st century.
