This book is one which will be of great interest to development experts in search of empirical evidence of how education impacts on development in Asia and for those seeking comparative benchmarks on which to assess education investments elsewhere in the developing world." --Catherine Liston-Heyes in Journal of Far Eastern Business By analyzing the contribution of education to development, this volume underlines the need for making larger and more rational investments in education. Tilak examines the experiences of several major Asian nations in their efforts to develop the educational sector. His analysis raises some pertinent questions and shows how in some nations education has been an important instrument for rapid economic growth. He also presents an overview of past trends, the current situation, and future prospects of the role of education in political, social, and economic development.

It makes good use of a wide range of materials to present recent research findings on its chosen themes, and should particularly be welcomed by teachers and students of comparative education." --International Journal of Educational Development "The 16 contributors to this soundly edited book provide useful insights into development education, curriculum design and comparative examples of good practice. There is clear practical advice and some fresh ideas and encouragement for teachers trying to find ways of reflecting principles of development education within the confines of new national curriculum. Education for Development in Asia is an authoritative study of the salient features of education in relation to economic and social development in Asia. -TES "This book is a critical comparative study on the relationship between various levels of education and development in the Asian region . . . The author has drawn significant policy implications for the Asian countries . . . Surely, this is an outstanding work published by an equally outstanding international publisher." -University News "Professor Tilak's book is a timely publication. It is a useful compendium of information-as well as controversies-about the relevance of education in the drive for rapid economic growth in the developing countries of Asia . . . The author has succeeded in bringing together the prominent features of educational planning and practice in these countries in relation to their economic and social development." -Seminar

Yasushi Hirosato and Yuto Kitamura Developing countries, including Southeast Asian countries, face an enormous challenge in ensuring equitable access to quality education in the context of deepening globalization and increasing international competition. They must simultaneously meet the goals of Education for All (EFA) at the basic education level and of developing a more sophisticated workforce required by the knowledge-based economy at the post-basic, especially tertiary, education level. To meet this challenge, developing countries need to reform/renovate their education systems and service deliveries as an integral part of national development. However, most of them have not yet fully developed the individual, institutional, and system capacities in undertaking necessary education reforms, especially under decentralization and privatization requiring new roles at various (central and local, or public and private) levels of administration and stakeholders. Provided that an ultimate vision of educational development and cooperation in the twenty-first century would be to develop indigenous capacity in engineering education reforms, this book analyzes the overall education reform context and capacity, including the status of sector program support using the sector-wide approach (SWAp)/program-based approach (PBA) in developing countries. We also address how different stakeholders have been interacting in order to promote equitable access to quality education, particularly from the perspectives of capacity development under the system of decentralization.

This book offers a fresh and comparative approach in questioning what education is being used for and what the effects of the politicisation of education are on Asian societies in the era of globalisation. Education has been used as a political tool throughout the ages and across the whole world to define national identity and underlie the political rationale of regimes. In the contemporary, globalising world there are particularly interesting examples of this throughout Asia, ranging from the new definition of Indian national identity as a Hindu identity (to contrast with Pakistan's Islamic identity), to particular versions of nationalism in China, Japan, Singapore and Vietnam. In Asia education systems have their origins in processes of state formation aimed either at bolstering 'self-strengthening' resistance to the encroachments of Western and/or Asian imperialism, or at furthering projects of post-colonial nation-building. State elites have sought to popularise powerful visions of nationhood, to equip these visions with a historical 'back-story', and to endow them with the maximum sentimental charge. This book explores all of these developments, emphasising that education is seen by nations across Asia, as elsewhere, as more than simply a tool for economic development, and that issues of national identity and the tolerance - or lack of it - of ethnic, cultural or religious diversity can be at least as important as issues of literacy and access. Interdisciplinary and unique in its analysis, this book will be of interest to scholars of political science, research in education and Asian Studies.
