Zusatztext The rapid emergence of ‘big data’ in education has sparked a renewed interest in international comparisons; and the relationship between educational investment and inclusive growth in East Asia is of enormous current interest to academics, policy-makers, and the international donor community. But it is not often that big data provides the big picture. For that we require richer analyses and insights woven together from across many disciplines in the social sciences. This book, so skilfully edited by Pei-tseng Jenny Hsieh, does precisely that. It is a must read for all students in comparative education and interdisciplinary area studies. Informationen zum Autor Pei-tseng Jenny Hsieh is a researcher in the Department of Education at the University of Oxford, UK. She has been an education consultant in Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and India. Colin Brock was Honorary Professor of Education at the University of Durham, UK, and Visiting Professor of Geography at the University of Loughborough, UK. He was also UNESCO Chair of Education as a Humanitarian Response at the University of Oxford, UK. Klappentext Education in East Asia is a comprehensive critical reference guide to education in the region. With chapters written by an international team of leading regional education experts, the book explores the education systems of China, Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea and Taiwan, covering local regional developments in each country as well as recent reforms and global contexts. Including a comparative introduction to the issues facing education in the region as a whole, this is an essential reference for researchers, scholars, international agencies and policy-makers at all levels.
