Synopsis

This Modern Guide examines how traditions, values and social contexts in East Asian countries have shaped schools and universities across the globe and in turn how globalization, local forces, national imperatives and indigenous culture have impacted education in East Asia.

Integrating traditional and innovative perspectives, chapters assess hybrid forms of educational policy and practice across diverse levels and themes. Drawing on comparative perspectives, expert contributors explore key issues such as citizenship education, lifelong learning, refugee integration, liberal arts and teacher vitality. Diverging from the Euro-American focus that dominates the field, this Modern Guide makes a unique contribution to the study of the history of education, comparative education and the cultural study of education.

A Modern Guide to Education in East Asia is a valuable resource for scholars and educators in comparative and international education, as well as those interested in the history and sociology of education, education policy and teacher education. Researchers, students and practitioners with a focus on East Asia will also find this highly beneficial.
