Opis

This book locates teachers’ work and lives in China in a critical analysis of the political, socio-cultural, ideological and educational reform contexts, and demonstrates how teachers retain their commitment for learning and development.

Recenzje

As the largest provider of teacher education and training in the world which also sustains the world’s largest number of primary and secondary schools, China remains one of the countries with the lowest proportion of teachers with tertiary qualification for teaching primary and secondary education. With the world’s growing interest in China, The Work and Lives of Teachers in China would satisfy the curiosity of readers in general who have yet had an opportunity to read about teachers in China through the works of the well-established researchers as well as the novice ones. It would also provide insights for policy makers, educators, researchers, teachers and students in education and beyond.  – Feng Yan, Associate Professor, School of Education, Shaoxing University, China
