18.014 - New Direction of Educational Reform for Educational Equality: Lessons From East Asia

Thu, April 27, 4:05 to 5:35pm, San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, Floor: Third Floor, Conference Room 17

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Raising overall achievement of all students while closing achievement gaps among students of diverse background has long been a top priority for educational policymakers not only in the United States but also in many other countries including East Asia. Although it is well known for East Asian countries’ high performance on international student assessments, little is known about growing educational inequality in these countries. In order to address this gap, this session presents an opportunity to learn how China, Japan, and South Korea address educational (in)equality. The session will offer important insights into American educational researchers and policymakers with respect to what challenges these three high-performing East Asian countries face and how they address growing educational inequality.
