It has been over a century since "Cooperative System of Education,"
a work-study programme for higher education, was initiated by
Herman Schneider at University of Cincinnati in the United States.
Today, it is known as "Cooperative Education" which is commonly
included within the umbrella term of "Work-Integrated Learning" and
broadly referred to by the World Association of Cooperative
Education (WACE) as "Cooperative and Work- Integrated Education
(CWIE)". Its development worldwide has been closely related to the
socioeconomic background of the region. This book offers the first
attempt to focus on the development of CWIE in Asia. To date, the
development of CWIE in the Asia region has been slow compared to
their counterparts. The analysis follows international comparisons
of China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and
Singapore on their educational history, vocational education, CWIE,
and future issues. Although the level of development varies among
them, there is no doubt that this region as a whole is experiencing
a rapidly growing global demographic and economic prominence. CWIE
can, and to some extent already does, play an important, supportive
role as part of growth. The book goes on to conclude that in order
to enable further successful expansion of CWIE, and improve its
best practice, it is imperative to establish national and regional
associations for CWIE, as well as establish collaborative research
activities across the region with governmental funding support.
