The Handbook of Education in China provides both a comprehensive
overview and an original interpretation of key aspects of education
in the People's Republic of China. With a sharp focus on specific
policy areas and using both original Chinese sources and other
commentaries, it expertly places the topic within its historical
and political context. The Handbook has four distinct and thematic
parts: The Historical Background; The Contemporary Chinese System;
Problems and Policies; The Special Administrative Regions: Macau
and Hong Kong. The chapters address fundamental issues facing
Chinese society, including the rapid educational expansion in
support of economic development in the post-Mao period, the
evolution of education as public policy, concern for access to
education as social justice and the parallel educational systems of
the Special Administrative Regions. The editors and contributors
are Chinese and foreign academics expert in this important field.
The Handbook of Education in China is an essential reference for
those interested in Chinese education, as well as a comprehensive
resource that provides valuable supplementary material for those
studying Chinese politics, economy, culture and society more
generally.
