This book offers a comprehensive picture of high-performing East
Asian education systems, beyond their outstanding achievements in
international assessments, such as PISA and TIMSS. Situating
"excellence" within discussions of "equity", it contextualises the
conceptions and pursuits of equity amid the development of
education systems, policy and curricula in selected East Asian
societies. While parallels could be observed across the systems,
including high-stakes assessment culture, increasing credentialism
and high investment of family educational resources, there are also
divergences in approaches and outcomes relating to equity policies
and practices. In light of the challenges presented by low
fertility rates, ageing populations, migration, and the economic
demands of the 21st century, the book addresses these systems'
attempts to cater to further diversified student populations and
maintain equity in excellence. As the international community
relentlessly seeks to enhance equity in education, there is much
these East Asian education systems can share. This book has appeal
internationally to researchers, policymakers, educators, and anyone
interested in East Asian education and equity.
