Traditionally schools have been seen as historical constructions reflecting the social, economic, and political needs of the societies that invest in them. As Asia faces the challenges posed by the knowledge economy, its schools have taken on a new and quite different importance. This book outlines the broad policy contexts in which these transformations are taking place and the practical strategies that are needed to meet this objective. It insight: provides an overview of educational issues in Asian societies; establishes a broad theoretical framework in which these issues can be understood; contextualizes issues by providing country case studies; acknowledges the important role of culture influencing educational priorities. 4aEducation - Economic aspects - Asia - Cross-cultural studies 4aEducation change - Asia - Cross-cultural studies0 aJohn Chi-kin Lee  a10578/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10579/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10579/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10578/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10578/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10579/MKRI-P/XI-2008
