Description:


Throughout its history, education in China has played a pivotal role in the nation™s governance, civic society, and the social and cultural lives of its citizens. Today we see a nation grappling with how to modernize and internationalize its education system, while still retaining China™s intellectual traditions and values in the face of growing educational inequalities.


This book analyses the historical and contemporary place of education in China and how the past has influenced today™s trends. Recent fundamental educational reforms have been driven by the need for continuing economic development and a highly skilled workforce, at the same time fulfilling the aspirations of its citizens and their desire for the prestige education brings. Moreover, ideological education plays a key role in enlisting citizens to the national cause. Although China has ambitious plans for its education system, several problems remain, including an examination-obsessed system and highly competitive culture, which skew the social fabric and dominate family life and childhoods.


This accessible analysis will be a welcome resource for students of comparative education as well as those across the social sciences interested in Chinese society.
