Globalization has effected tremendous change to the character and
functions of education worldwide. This unique book focuses on its
impact upon Hong Kong and Singapore, and how these two East Asian
Tigers have responded to the strong global tide of marketization in
shaping and developing their education policies. The authors
discuss the way in which increasingly prominent tides of
marketization, privatization, corporatization and decentralization
have influenced the governance and management of education in these
two Asian economies. They aim to identify and examine the crucial
socio-historical, socio-economic and socio-political factors for
education reforms initiated in the two societies in recent years.
Ka-Ho Mok and Jason Tan examine the education policy developments
of these two cities, to draw wider conclusions as to how
nation-states and/or local governments react and respond to the
growing impact of globalization. Globalization and Marketization in
Education will draw an interested readership from education policy
researchers, policymakers and administrators. Scholars of public
policy, and Asian, development and education studies will also find
the book of special interest and value.
