Opis

This book assesses the impact of globalization on the education systems of key East Asian countries. It discusses how far policy makers have changed education policies in response to what they perceive to be changes required in educational outcomes in order to equip their societies for new global conditions; it explores the impact of new approaches and ideologies related to globalization, such as marketization, privatization, governance changes, managerialism, economic rationalism and neo-liberalism; and it makes comparisons where appropriate across the region. The countries covered are China, including Hong Kong, Japan, and the "tiger economies" of South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. The book will be of interested both to comparative educationists, and to those interested in the policies which underpin economic growth.
