Special Issue: Diversity and trans-national connections in the history of modern education in Asia.
Guest editors: Shin’ichi Suzuki (Waseda University, Tokyo. Japan) & Parimala V. Rao (Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. India).
“In this special issue we address how modern education crosses the borders of states, cultures and ethnicities towards developing universalistic perspectives. The Present Special Issue consists of 6 articles, 5 of them are on modernization of education in Japan and the remaining one discusses the issues concerning school education in Malaysia. Each paper illustrates the readers some of the typical phases of educational transitions which have been commonly observed in Asia. They represent reflexively and historically the educational situations which have been surrounding us all. (…) The essays in this special issue eloquently show that the modern education which originated in the west spread to the east during the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries cannot fit into polemical binaries. They exhibit eloquently that the process of transmission of knowledge was complex and nuanced” (Suzuki & Rao).
