Education And Social Change in China Inequality in a Market Economy

Market reform, financial decentralization, and economic globalization have greatly accentuated China's social and regional inequalities. Education is expected to address these inequalities in a context of rapid social change, including the rise of an urban middle class, changed status of women, resurgence of ethnic identities, growing rural to urban migration, and lingering poverty in remote areas. But some argue that state policies have not sufficiently addressed inequitable practices, and that schools actually perpetuate and reproduce inequities, giving rise to a new system of social stratification driven more by market forces than socialist principles.Postiglione, Gerard A. is the author of 'Education And Social Change in China Inequality in a Market Economy', published 2006 under ISBN 9780765614766 and ISBN 0765614766.
