It is a great pleasure to present this book, edited by a
distinguished team at the Hong Kong Institute of Education and with
excellent contributors from nine countries in the region and
beyond. The book is a truly comparative work which significantly
advances conceptual understanding. The comparisons undertaken are
at many levels and with different units for analysis. One chapter
undertakes comparison in two cities (Hong Kong and Guangzhou),
three chapters make comparisons between two eountries (South Korea
and Singapore; Solomon Islands and Vanuatu; South Korea and China);
and five chapters undertake eomparisons across the whole region.
Other on individual countries or, in one case, on a single schoo .
In addition, ehapters foeus several chapters examine the attitudes
and roles played by individuals and groups within societies. The
book is thus an admirable example of the vitality of the field of
comparative education in selecting different units for analysis and
in examination of issues from diverse angles. Within the book,
moreover, readers will find a fascinating array of settings and
environments. On the one hand, for example, is Japan with its
relatively homogenous eulture, a population of 126 million, and a
strong national identity based on language and history. On the
other hand is Solomon Islands, which has a population of just
400,000 scattered over 1,000 islands, approximately 90 indigenous
languages, and major social problems arising from culture c\ashes,
econornic forces, political dyna mies and legacies of colonialism."
