AH-516 Chinese Education in Comparative Perspective
Vanessa L. Fong
This course teaches students about education in mainland China, and it encourages students to think about what Chinese parents, teachers, administrators, and policymakers could do to improve Chinese education, as well as what parents, teachers, administrators, and policymakers in the US and other societies can learn from Chinese educational policies and practices. Students will learn skills related to designing and evaluating proposals for educational policies and practices by working in teams to design proposals about how to improve Chinese education (drawing on examples from the US and other societies) as well as how to improve education in another society using educational policies and practices that have been successful in China. These proposals will be submitted to the entire class for discussion. There are no prerequisites.
