Session Type: WERA Symposium

Abstract

To meet the challenges of globalization, there have numerous education reforms worldwide. As high performing education systems in the OECD’s PISA results, did Canada, Finland, Hong Kong and Singapore really need any education reforms to further enhance their systems? What kinds of education initiatives did they pursue recently or in the last 10-15 years? And for what purposes? What were crucial issues and challenges they have faced in education reforms with worldwide significance? It would be interesting to know what international implications will be for research endeavors, policy debates, and practical innovations. With this aim, the papers of the symposium will discuss the progress and related issues of some key initiatives for curriculum changes, pedagogical innovations, and management transformation.
