Private Education in the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Nations, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book delves into the expansion and complexities of private education in the P-12 school sector across 12 Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) nations: Brunei Darussalam, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand. It focuses on the dynamic role private education plays in diverse educational and socio-economic landscapes, and how it complements or competes with public education systems in these countries.

With examples ranging from individual school policies to national governance models, the book highlights how private education institutions navigate regulatory frameworks, respond to community demands, and interact with public institutions. Case studies illustrate specific governance practices, including leadership and administrative approaches, and examine how these impact educational quality, access, and resource allocation. The book also discusses the influence of globalization and technology on private education, examining both the challenges and opportunities these forces bring.

This book is a comprehensive resource on private education, offering a detailed analysis of governance, policy, and socio-economic factors shaping this sector in the Asia-Pacific. It encourages readers to think critically about the future of education, prompting questions about how private and public institutions can work together to foster sustainable educational development, support inclusive access, and meet the needs of diverse student populations in the RCEP region.
