The history of the educational philosophies, systems, and curricula of seventeen East Asian countries are described here, with a timeline highlighting educational developments, and a special "day in the life" feature, a personal account of what it is like for a student to attend school in that country. -Brunei -Cambodia -China -Hong Kong -Indonesia -Japan -Laos -Malaysia -Mongolia -North Korea -Philippines -Singapore -South Korea -Taiwan -Thailand -Timor Leste -Vietnam -Philippines -Singapore -Taiwan -Vietnam
