Chinese Higher Education Reform and Social Justice

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In place of a distributive justice perspective which focuses simply on equal access to universities, this book presents a broader understanding of the relationship between Chinese higher education and economic and social change. The necessity for research on the place of universities in contemporary Chinese society may be seen from current debates about and policy towards issues of educational inequality at Chinese universities. Many questions arise as a consequence and are considered by a group of leading scholars from both inside and outside China.
