How has schooling functioned in the construction of meritocratic
national systems historically? To what extent will these historical
patterns and normative commitments continue in the new era of a
global meritocracy? And ultimately, how can educators effectively
balance the inherent tension between individual merit and
standardized quality? Kariya and Rappleye explore the answers to
these questions and more by focusing on the Japanese model, long
recognized globally for being one of the most equitable and
meritocratic systems in the world. Looking at the country's
educational history and policy shifts, the authors point to the
important comparative lessons for sociology and education research.
They show how the Japanese experience can inform global approaches
to educational reform and policymaking-and how this kind of
exploration can reinvigorate a more rigorous discussion of
meritocracy, equality, and education. Book Features: Rethink the
complex relationships among meritocracy, education, and equality
from a global perspective. See how nations beyond North America and
Western Europe have developed different, more equitable approaches
to improve outcomes for all learners. Explore the root causes of
current problems in meritocracy through a look at the historical
background of Japan's postwar experience. Transcend prevailing
stereotypes of Japanese education and society, and reconceptualize
these differences as alternative approaches. Understand how
pedagogical approaches and funding mechanisms are fundamentally
entangled through the authors' rich empirical detail.
