Prior to the era of globalization, education in Southeast Asia was
viewed in the context of the national state and it was deployed in
the service of state and nation-building and national economic
development. States monopolized education, and public-funded
centralized education systems were established to teach literacy,
transmit national cultures and promote social cohesion, and to
produce literate workers. Globalization forces, however,
dramatically impacted in varying ways and degrees the national
education systems across the region. As states begun to see their
citizens as resources to enhance the countries' competitiveness in
the global market, it, among other things, led to the increasing
demand for highly skilled and qualified human capital. The
accompanying neoliberal ideology led to varying degrees of
decentralization, privatization and internationalization of
education, especially of higher education, in Southeast Asia. The
chapters in this volume focus on a number of issues and challenges
confronting the education sector in Southeast Asia, including: (i)
the contrasting language in education policy in Singapore and
Malaysia; (ii) the introduction of an English-medium private
education sector in Malaysia; (iii) the internationalization of
Thai higher education; (iv) access and quality issues in the
massification of Malaysian higher education; (v) secondary school
quality and higher education participation in Indonesia; (vi)
equity, access and retention in primary school education in
Malaysia; and (vii) reforms in the primary and secondary education
in Myanmar.
