Additionally, this work provides some very illuminating excerpts on issues related to globalization and education reform within the context of national efforts to train and socialize populations for economic and political development.

MultiCultural Review

"Ultimately, these books should find useful homes in high school and college libraries; as components of international and comparative education courses (at the undergraduate and even graduate levels); as a reference for instructors of introductory-level Asian survey courses; and as additions to personal libraries of academicians who wish to understand better the diverse means, modes, and mechanisms of education across the countries and territories of East, South, and Southeast Asia."
