Despite private tutoring gaining increasing popularity in many countries, studies of the choice of and rationale for private tutoring among Chinese parents before and after the “double reduction” policy (issued on July 24, 2021) in China are limited. This mixed-methods paper compares parents’ choice of private tutoring before and after the policy and the role of socioeconomic status in influencing their choice.

Why do Chinese overseas doctoral graduates return to China? The push‐pull factors and the influence of gender and gender norms
Although attention has been paid to return migration internationally, research studies on why Chinese overseas doctoral graduates return to China are few. A study that considers gendered motivations has yet to be found. Using a qualitative study with 31 Chinese overseas doctoral graduate returnees, this study examines factors influencing graduates' reasons for returning to China and how these relate to Chinese gender and gender role‐related cultu…

David Davies, of Llandinam (1880–1944) was undoubtedly the most influential person in the peace movement in Wales during the first half of the 20th century.

Play, Sport, and Dialogue as Pathways to Peace
This essay considers how play, sport, and dialogue may be used as pathways to peace.In Homo Ludens (1949), a pioneering classic of cultural history, the Dutch historian Johan Huizinga, describes play as an informal voluntary activity according to guided rules accepted freely under limits of space and time.The purpose is to create an atmosphere of tension, joy, and consciousness that it is different from ordinary life.It requires that daily concer…

The article draws upon Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus and cultural capital to provide an in-depth analysis of the gender differences in students’ motivation for undertaking postgraduate (PG) education in Mainland China. It reports an in-depth case study comprising 381 questionnaires and 30 semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data show that students who enter PG education do so chiefly to improve employment prospects. The qualitative data…

What Fanon said
Frantz Omar Fanon died of leukaemia on 6 December 1961, at the early age of 36. A Francophone Afro-Caribbean from Martinique, he was both a professional psychiatrist and a revolutionary. A member of the Algerian National Liberation Front during the war against French colonialism (1954–62), he developed an eclectic philosophy of anti-racism, pan-Africanism, and humanism. He wrote four books, in French, available in English as Black Skin, White Mas…
Internationalization of Higher Education
Given that there appears to be a dichotomy within the BRICS, we focus on Russia and China, discussing recent developments in their respective Higher Educational systems, and what these changes might mean in terms of internationalization. Moreover, given that the importance of Higher Education for a balanced development is something that is now widely recognised by International Organizations, such as the World Bank and UNESCO, as well as by gover…

This article reports on a study that examined the personal employment paths of six international academics at a British university. To complement previous accounts of difficult migration, it focuses on the successful experiences of such academics, in particular how proficiency in English facilitated their move into employment in higher education (HE), and the linguistic competences and communication strategies they deploy in their daily activitie…
Fei Xiao Tong
This article focuses on Fei Xiao Tong's status as a public intellectual in Maoist China, his place in the ‘red or expert’ struggle, his fate during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, and his cautious return to academic prominence and as an influential Chinese public intellectual in post‐Maoist China
The Contrasting Philosophies of Martin Buber and Frantz Fanon
Education has two distinct but interconnected layers. There is an outer layer concerned with knowledge transfer and skills and an inner layer concerned with the development of character and relationships with others, both individually and socially. This inner layer provides the individual with the capacity to influence and to change society. In that sense, such an inner layer is 'political'. In this article we argue that the 'political' in educat…
The expansion of higher education, employment and over-education in China
I and Thou
Most of what has been written about Buber and education tend to be studies of two kinds: theoretical studies of his philosophical views on education, and specific case studies that aim at putting theory into practice. The perspective taken has always been to hold a dialogue with Buber's works in order to identify and analyse critically Buber's views and, in some cases, to put them into practice; that is, commentators dialogue with the text. In th…

Martin Buber’s philosophy of education and its implications for adult non‐formal education

He has also attracted considerable attention as a philosopher of education. However, most commentaries on this aspect of his work have focussed on the implications of his philosophy for formal education and for the education of t…
The impact of international teacher migration on schooling in developing countries—the case of Southern Africa
Whilst the migration of teachers has been a phenomenon for hundreds of years, the advent of ‘globalisation’ has seen such migration return to prominence. This article focuses on the experiences of two developing countries in Southern Africa which have been on different ends of the process: South Africa as a net sender of teachers and Botswana as a net receiver of teachers. In comparing these two country experiences it is possible to highlight the…

This is a region which has seen major economic and social changes as China makes the transition from a centrally planned to a market‐oriented…

Interculturalism and Non‐formal Education in Brazil
Gilberto Freyre, the great Brazilian historian and sociologist, described Brazil as a ‘racial paradise’, a place where different races and nationalities have come to live together in a sort of ‘racial democracy’. The literature on this topic has become extensive as anthropologists, social scientists and historians felt the need to either prove or disprove such a claim. The argument that Brazil is a racial paradise or democracy is certainly romant…

Community colleges in the United States
The article examines US community colleges from a comparative public policy perspective and asks: are they a model for Britain? The introduction provides the context for this question, stating that, while systems of education and training are recognized as vital to a nation's economic and social development, there has been a long standing lack of confidence in the effectiveness of that in Britain, especially in the intermediate post-school sector…
Do we need a Commonwealth network of colleges of educational leadership
Contemporary educational reform places a premium on the effective leadership and management of schools. An orderly, efficient and well-managed school environment provides the preconditions for enhanced student learning. Complex and dynamic 'cultural' changes needed for sustained school improvement, are more likely to occur as a result of transformational leadership that focuses on the people involved, their relationships, and requires an approach…

Job Search Channels and Educational Level in China
Using data from a nation-wide survey of graduates undertaken in 2003, this article tests the screening hypothesis for the graduate job market by investigating the relationship among job search channels, educational level and the results of job searches. It is found that those at a lower educational level are more likely to choose informal channels. This is supportive of the screening hypothesis, since those with higher levels of education have a …
