Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses mass higher education development in East Asian countries by means of three main issues: the strategy for higher education development; the way professors and students in the region are experiencing the rapid developments; and the challenges imposed by mass higher education. These challenges include the quality of education as well as structural changes in the rapidly developing systems, funding sources for supporting mass higher education, and job markets for college graduates.

"... This is by far the best book so far produced on the building of higher education in Asia and brings forward our understanding of issues and problems everywhere of rapid educational growth, the economic costs and contributions of education, capacity building in the academic profession and science, and lifting quality..."

- Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education, Institute of Education, University College London and Joint Editor-in-Chief of the journal Higher Education

"Higher education is the new 'coin of the realm.'... This book outlines what is happening in a key region of the world. The authors are at the 'top of their game' and able to offer us breaking trends with trenchant analysis." - William G. Tierney, University Professor & Co-director, Pullias Center for Higher Education, University of Southern California

"... East Asia came to the "mass revolution" after North America and Europe, but has been deeply affected by it. This book provides an excellent multidimensional analysis of the key elements of massification as they affect this key region."

- Philip G. Altbach, Research Professor and Director, Center for International Higher Education, Boston College.

"Mass Higher Education Development in East Asia is a well-researched book, bringing together an impressive group of renowned academics from the East and the West who offer a balanced assessment of the achievements and challenges in East Asian higher education..." - Jamil Salmi, Global Tertiary Education Expert, former World Bank Tertiary Education Coordinator.

Rezensionen

"Higher education is the new 'coin of the realm.' Globalization has shown us that more individuals need to participate in higher education, but what students learn and are prepared for has to be closely in sync with the job market. This book outlines what is happening in a key region of the world.  The authors are at the 'top of their game' and able to offer us breaking trends with trenchant analysis." -- William G. Tierney, University Professor & Co-director, Pullias Center for Higher Education, University of Southern California

"Mass Higher Education Development in East Asia is a well-researched book, bringing together an impressive group of renowned academics from the East and the West who offer a balanced assessment of the achievements and challenges in East Asian higher education.  Professors Shin, Postiglione and Huang should be congratulated for this excellent contribution that offers invaluable insights into the impact of mass higher education on students and academics in East Asia." -- Jamil Salmi, Global Tertiary Education Expert, former World Bank Tertiary Education Coordinator

"Professors Shin, Postiglione and Huang have prepared a comprehensive volume on higher education in East and Southeast Asia, full of insights and invaluable data. The phenomenal development and improvement of universities and colleges in the region has lessons for all countries. This is by far the best book so far produced on the building of higher education in Asia and brings forward our understanding of issues and problems everywhere of rapid educational growth, the economic costs and contributions of education, capacity building in the academic profession and science, and lifting quality while growing quantity at the same time." -- Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education, Institute of Education, University College London and Joint Editor-in-Chief of the journal, Higher Education

"The advent of mass higher education is perhaps the most important development in global higher education in the past century. East Asia came to the "mass revolution" after North America and Europe, but has been deeply affected by it. This book provides an excellent multidimensional analysis of the key elements of massification as they affect this key region." -- Philip G. Altbach, Research Professor and Director, Center for International Higher Education, Boston College

"The volume is a timely collection. ... This book is highly recommended to scholars and students who major in comparative education and higher education not only for the breadth of topics covered, but also for its scholarship. Policy makers and educational leaders paying attention to the changing reality of higher education will greatly benefit from having read this book. It will help them further understand the current situation and adjust reforms accordingly." (Shuhua Liu, Higher Education, Vol. 72, 2016)
