This book introduces findings from an international,
cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary study of
children’s everyday experiences of growing up and going to school
in the context of the three global cities of Hong Kong, Singapore
and Melbourne. It takes the premise that children’s learning and
orientations to educational success are shaped by everyday cultural
practices at home and at school, by policy contexts that both
produce and respond to educational and cultural norms, and by
individual and familial desires and aspirations. Drawing on
research conducted with primary school-aged children in Year 4, the
book considers how day-to-day routines such as going to school,
engaging in extra-curricular activities outside of
school, and spending time at home with family intersect with
the broader milieus of education policy ideals in a changing and
interconnected world. Through a combination of visual
methodologies, surveys, ethnographic observations in schools,
classrooms and cityscapes, re-enactments of everyday activities
with children at home, and sociological education policy
analysis, this book shows both the richness of children’s
everyday lives and learning in global cities, as well as exploring
questions that pose challenges to educational and social norms.
