Modernizing education with Chinese characteristics? The Chinese academic discourse on education modernization (1985–2021)
Transcending Western-centrism and nationalism in Education
Selves as methods
Measuring social and emotional development with a ‘Western ruler’
Effects of Panax notoginseng saponins on alleviating low shear induced endothelial inflammation and thrombosis via Piezo1 signalling
The halted neoliberalising of public schools
This paper investigates and compares the policy trajectories of two halted privatisation reforms - autonomous private high schools in South Korea (2002-2019) and converted schools in China (1992-2008). The two reforms, ambitiously announced, were put under scrutiny and ultimately halted, when the public discontent about education inequalities was widely expressed. We particularly focus on the profound entanglement between neoliberal forces and co…
The resurgence of ‘ignorance is women’s virtue’
This paper considers the construction of an ‘ideal’ level of female education in China by reflecting on the social phenomenon of ‘leftover women’, and the perpetuation of this stigma by both Chinese state media. It contributes an in-depth engagement with the educational dimensions of ‘leftover women’ through innovative discourse analysis that examines the content of one of the most popular Chinese dating shows in the last decade. This analysis re…
Learn to become a unique interrelated person
While social-emotional learning as a specific education concept originated from North America, the thoughts on emotions and associated pedagogical practices have developed across cultures. Drawing on Confucian and Daoist perspectives, this paper aims to reconfigure an alternative of social-emotional learning, beyond the dominant framework rooted in Western liberalism. It argues that the Confucian and Daoist notions of self are ontologically inter…
Run by others
The promotion of school-to-school collaboration and school autonomy has popularized in the global trends of school system reform over the past few decades. This article examines the Shanghai experience by specifically taking the entrustment management reform as an illustrative example. Since 2007, the government has contracted ‘good’ schools in urban districts and private non-profit educational organizations to manage a group of relatively ‘weak’…
The ‘new Orientalism’
This article explores the discourses concerning, and actors promoting, the recent ‘rise’ of East Asia in the global trend of education policy borrowing. It focuses on the ways in which English policymakers and media have represented the ‘success’ of East Asian education systems in international large-scale tests. Taking the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and McKinsey as two illustrative examples, it also investigate…
The seeming ‘round trip’ of learner-centred education
Inspired by the ‘advanced’ Western experience, China has implemented the New Curriculum Reform promoting learner-centred education since 2001. The OECD has identified this reform as a key feature contributing to Shanghai’s ‘PISA success’, worthy in turn of re-imitation by the West. Drawing upon official documents and interview data, this article shows that learner-centred education has been well accepted in rhetoric, which has led to more time be…
Comparing school accountability in England and its East Asian sources of ‘borrowing’
Education reforms in England are increasingly justified by borrowing ‘best practices’ of high-performing East Asian societies, including Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai. However, taking the reforms of school accountability as an illustrative example, this article argues that there are serious variations between England and its East Asian sources of ‘borrowing’ with regard to the ways in which schools are held to be accountable. How school accou…
Imagining school autonomy in high-performing education systems
Education reform is increasingly based on emulating the features of world-class' systems that top international attainment surveys and, in England specifically, East Asia is referenced as the inspiration' for their education reforms. However, the extent to which the features identified by the UK Government accord with the situation within East Asia is problematic. This paper examines the relationship between the English representation and the rea…
