Minority Students in East Asia: Government

In Minority Students in East Asia: Government Policies, School Practices and Teacher Responses authors discuss their research on minority students' schooling (elementary to higher education) in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Minority students' educational issues are often neglected in the literature and in practice; this concern is emerging as a world-wide phenomenon. Due to a focus on the economy and trade, social and educational conditions that have resulted from globalization'”in particular issues pertaining to minority groups' education, language and other human rights'”receive less attention. In addition, many areas of East Asia have traditionally viewed themselves as single-ethnicity countries and have not articulated strong agendas around minority rights. The purpose of this book is to highlight key educational conditions for specific minority populations in specific regions of East Asia. Sub-themes addressed include government policies related to minorities; school practices and teacher perspectives on minorities; identity construction in terms of language and culture; national vs. ethnic identity; teacher education issues; and parental issues.
