In place of a distributive justice perspective which focuses simply on equal access to universities, this book presents a broader understanding of the relationship between Chinese higher education and economic and social change. The necessity for research on the place of universities in contemporary Chinese society may be seen from current debates about and policy towards issues of educational inequality at Chinese universities. Many questions arise as a consequence: What are the limitations of neo-liberalism in higher education policy and what are the alternatives? How has the Chinese government met the challenges of educational inequality, and what lessons may be learned from its recent initiatives? How may higher education enhance social justice in Chinese society given economic, social, and cultural inequality? What may be learned from the experience of Macau, Hong Kong, and of Taiwan in terms of achieving social justice in Chinese universities? These questions are considered by a group of leading scholars from both inside and outside China.

Investigating the highly influential enrolment expansion policy in Chinese higher education, this book outlines how educational equity issues were understood and addressed in the formulation and implementation of the policy, and its impacts on the socio-economic fabric of China in the past decades. Drawing on Chinese policy documents and interviews with government and university representatives, Zhang examines the education system under the Mao era and the post-Mao era and outlines the different approaches to equity that have characterized education in China in the 20th and 21st centuries. Stephen Ball’s "policy cycle" is used as a framework to analyse the various contexts (text, discourse, and social practice) in which policy is formed. Zhang argues that education policy was not simply driven by concerns of equity but also by economic interests and political discourse. Zhang further goes on to analyse how education policy was implemented by provincial governments and highlights the tension between central policy and on-the-ground implementation. Bringing analysis of Chinese policy and research to a wider audience, this text will interest education policymakers and academics in the field of educational equity and higher education research.

This study investigates the highly influential enrolment expansion policy in Chinese higher education. This policy had a wider impact on the socio-economic fabric of China in the past decade. Nonetheless, the equity issues associated with the enrolment expansion policy have not attracted a great deal of scholarly research. The aim of this study therefore, is to explore how educational equity issues were understood and addressed in the formulation and implementation of the enrolment expansion policy. This study aims to contribute to that field of educational research called educational equity policy research. This involves the analysis together of education policy research and educational equity research. Drawing primarily from Chinese materials, this study seeks particularly to contribute to Chinese research in this field. But it also aims to provide an accessible analysis of equity issues in higher education in China for an English speaking audience that is not familiar with the Chinese education system or with equity issues in Chinese education. I begin with a discussion of two bodies of research literature; that on Chinese education policy and that on educational equity in China. In the latter instance, I look at the literature produced during the Mao era and the post-Mao in order to illustrate two very different approaches to equity that have characterized education in China in the 20th and 21st century. In the former instance, educational equity was not so much a research topic as a government policy. In the post Mao era policy researchers themselves paid increasing attention to equity issues drawing on very different values from those that informed the policies of Mao. And it is this literature that eventually came to form the field of inquiry called educational equity policy research. In the field of higher education, there is only a limited literature that focuses on educational equity policy itself. Most of the available research concentrates on the impact of Chinese higher education policy on educational equity. There is a lack of scholarly research that analyzes the actual production and implementation of higher education policy with regard to educational equity issues. This absence provides an indisputable warrant for the research undertaken in this study. But this absence also led me to turn to education policy studies not well conducted in China for I required a conceptual framework that both encompassed the policy process itself and that paid serious attention to the contexts of policy. It was thus that I turned to policy sociology. As I explain in discussing the main imperatives of policy sociology with its emphasis on the various powerful forces and interests at work in the policy process, Stephen Ball is a key figure. His early ideas on the 'policy cycle' became central to my inquiries. My entire study is organized according to Ball's framework. The core concepts therein are: the 'context of influence', the 'context of policy text production' and the 'context of practice'. These provide me with the conceptual resources to analyse various aspects of the 'policy cycle' associated with the enrolment expansion policy. In developing my analysis I examine a range of pertinent policy and policy related documents along with interview data from selected policy figures in government and universities. Through my examination of related laws, government documents and government officials' speeches in the 1990s and 2000s I show that despite the fact that educational equity was very clearly a major issue, it was not a driving imperative. Indeed, I show that before 2003 educational equity values were missing in Chinese education policy making. Instead, economic interests and discourses played a dominant role in building the policy agenda. Through interpreting Chinese political, economic, social and educational contexts of the situation in the later 1990s, I argue that although people from different perspective struggled to influence the definition and social purpose of higher education in the policy agenda building of enrolment expansion, the dominant discourse in these discussions was economic development. Further, this research offers an analysis of the context of policy text production for enrolment expansion in China's higher education from three different perspectives: policy as text, policy as discourse and policy as social practice. Based on this, in this study I explore: how different values affected the policy text production for enrolment expansion; how the relevant discourses played their dominant roles in the formulation of enrolment expansion policy; and how educational equity values were reflected in the policy text. According to my interpretation of the management system of Chinese higher education, this study provides an analysis of how the policy text of enrolment expansion was reinterpreted and recreated by provincial governments. I argue that how the reinterpretation of policy text could fit for particular provincial contexts on the one hand and avoid policy distortion on other hand was a big challenge for the central and provincial government departments and agencies. In addition, I also discussed the changes of Chinese higher educational equity by comparing the distribution of higher education opportunities before and after 1999. I find that education equity in Chinese higher education is a historical issue. It existed well before 1999. Based on this, I further identify that although the implementation of the enrolment expansion policy objectively promoted Chinese higher educational equity, meanwhile, it really played quite a limited role in resolving higher educational inequity in the past ten years of Chinese higher education development.

A major transformation of Chinese higher education (HE) has taken place over the past decade – China has reshaped its higher education sector from elite to mass education with the number of graduates having quadrupled to three million a year over six years. China is exceptional among lower income countries in using tertiary education as a development strategy on such a scale, aiming to improve the quality of its graduates, and make HE available to as many of its citizens as possible. This book provides a critical examination the challenges to the development and sustainability of higher education in China: Can its universities move from quantity to quality? How will so many graduates find jobs in line with their expectations? Can Britain and other western countries continue to benefit from China’s education boom? What are the prospects for collaboration in research? This book evaluates the prospects for Chinese and foreign HE providers, regulators and other stakeholders. It introduces the key changes in China’s HE programme since the Opening-Up policy in 1978 and analyses the achievements and the challenges over the subsequent three decades. Furthermore, it sheds light on new reforms that are likely to take place in the future, particularly as a result of the ongoing international financial crisis.

Fuelled by forces of globalization, China has gradually shifted from a centrally planned economy to a socialist market economy. Under the market economy China has experienced a massive and protracted economic boom. It is not clear however whether recent economic changes have brought the same miracle to education in China. Spotlight on China brings together established and emerging scholars from China and internationally in a dialogue about the profound social and economic transformation that has resulted from the market economy and its concomitant impact on education in China. The book covers a wide range of topics, including: • Market economy and curriculum reform• Teaching under China’s market economy• Changes in higher education• Transitions from education to work • Market economy and social inequality With its broad scope and fresh critical perspectives, this collection offers a most contemporary and comprehensive analysis of possibly the largest education system in the world. Lessons learned from the China experiment will inform researchers and educators about social and educational reforms in other countries which are undergoing similar fundamental changes. Spotlight on China provides a state of the art picture: dynamic, partial, full of contradictions and tensions, and, as we speak, in movement and local reconfiguration.” – Allan Luke, Queensland University of Technology. “The book moves social science research on China’s education another step forward by refining the balance between the viability of mainstream western concepts and the analytical possibilities of creating a new scholarship based on a deeper understanding of the historically grounded realities of contemporary Chinese education.” – Gerard A. Postiglione, The University of Hong Kong"
