How particular has Southeast Asia's experience of educational
development been, and has this led to an identifiably distinct
Southeast Asian approach to the provision of education? Inquiry
into these questions has significant consequences for our
understanding of the current state of education in Southeast Asia
and the challenges it has inherited. This book contributes to a
better understanding of the experience of educational development
in Southeast Asia by presenting a collection of micro-historical
studies on the subject of education, policy and practice in the
region from the emergence of modern education to the end of the
twentieth century. The chapters fathom the extent to which contest
over educational content in schools has occurred and establish the
socio-cultural, political and economic bases upon which these
contestations have taken place and the ways in which those forces
have played out in the classrooms. In doing so, the book conveys a
sense of the extent to which modern forms of education have been
both facilitated and shaped by the region's specific
configurations; its unique demographic, religious, social,
environmental, economic and political context. Conversely, they
also provide examples of the sorts of obstacles that have prevented
education making as full an impact on the region's recent 'modern'
transformation as might have been hoped or expected. This book will
be of interest to academics in the field of Southeast Asian
Studies, Asian Studies, education, nationalism, and history.
