The educational systems of seventeen East Asian countries are examined in this volume for students and researchers, including a timeline of educational developments and a day in the life feature, a personal account of what it's like to attend school in that country.
Gerard A. Postiglione is a Professor at the Wah Ching Center of Research in Education on China at the University of Hong Kong. Jason Tan is an Associate Professor in the Policy and Leadership Studies Department at the National Institute of Education in Singapore.
Overall the volume presents a comprehensive picture of the current
state of East Asian education systems. Additionally, this work
provides some very illuminating excerpts on issues related to
globalization and education reform within the context of national
efforts to train and socialize populations for economic and
political development.
*Comparative Education Review*
Education students, executives with multinational corporations and
NGOs, and interested adult readers are the audience for this survey
of the education systems of the world.
*MultiCultural Review*
"Ultimately, these books should find useful homes in high school
and college libraries; as components of international and
comparative education courses (at the undergraduate and even
graduate levels); as a reference for instructors of
introductory-level Asian survey courses; and as additions to
personal libraries of academicians who wish to understand better
the diverse means, modes, and mechanisms of education across the
countries and territories of East, South, and Southeast Asia."
