Transformative market reforms in China since the late 1970s have
improved living standards dramatically, but have also led to
unprecedented economic inequality. During this period, China's
educational system was restructured to support economic
development, with educational reforms occurring at a startling
pace. Today, the educational system has diversified in structure,
finance, and content; it has become more market-oriented; and it is
serving an increasingly diverse student population. These changes
carry significant consequences for China's social mobility and
inequality, and future economic prospects.
In Education and Reform in China, leading scholars in the fields of
education, sociology, demography, and economics investigate the
evolution of educational access and attainment, educational
quality, and the economic consequences of being educated. Education
and Reform in China shows that economic advancement is increasingly
tied to education in China, even as educational services are
increasingly marketized. The volume investigates the varying impact
of change for different social, ethnic, economic and geographic
groups. Offering interdisciplinary views on the changing role of
education in Chinese society, and on China's educational
achievements and policy challenges, this book will be an important
resource for those interested in education, public policy, and
development issues in China.
