More about the book

Originally published in 1973, this title analyses revolutionary changes in the Chinese education system and illustrates China�s radical departure from both traditional and Western goals. In his extensive introduction, Peter J. Seybolt puts the transformation of education in the context of China�s socio-economic development and offers insight into why educational reform is at the heart of Chinese society�s radical progress. Additionally, this volume offers valuable historical background as well as a biographical guide and a glossary allowing for a fuller understanding of both historical and modern issues. This is an ideal title for students interested in Asian Studies and History.
