This book offers a nuanced and research-based, critical account of the current status of Chinese education at differing levels within China, in the context of its position on the global economic and political stage.Following on from in-depth discussion of China’s global policies including the Forum on China and Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) action plan, and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), chapters present empirically based case studies showcasing a range of theoretical perspectives on higher education, neoliberalism and nationalism, teacher training and identity, and curriculum design, amongst other areas of research. The book contextualises the role of education internally within China as it faces global challenges and explores how China has developed its education programmes within its national and international strategies. Key trends in educational development are also addressed, such as the digitalisation of education and artificial intelligence.Ultimately offering a critical analysis of the Chinese education system in the context of globalisation, this book will be relevant to scholars, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of international and comparative education, educational policy and politics, and Chinese education development more specifically. Educational policymakers may also find this volume of interest.
