Introduced by the current administration of the Democratic Progressive Party (民進黨 or DPP) in 2018, the policy aims to transform Taiwan into a ‘Bilingual Nation’ by 2030.

Shadow education, in the form of examination-preparatory tutorial schooling, is pervasive across much of Asia. The costs in terms of family finances, the narrowing of educational focus and the exhausting competitiveness of examination cramming for the youngsters involved have aroused much scholarly commentary. But can shadow education take benign as well as malign forms? And how can regulation help in this respect.
In this episode, Edward Vickers discusses these and related questions with Professor Zhang Wei of East China Normal University in Shanghai. An eminent expert on shadow education, Prof. Zhang has published widely on various aspects...2023-06-221h 07Asian Education PodcastSeason 1 Episode 9

In March 2023, Edward Vickers recorded an interview with Professor Krishna Kumar (Episode 7) in which they discussed the reform of the curricula and textbooks produced by India’s National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) during Prof. Kumar’s term as Director between 2005 and 2010. To the surprise of many - including Prof. Kumar - the NCERT curricula and related teaching materials produced then had remained substantially unaltered down to the present day (2023). The BJP regime that took power at the centre in 2014 had so far refrained from seeking to impose a major curricular revision.
However, this situation chan...2023-06-0137 minAsian Education PodcastSeason 1 Episode 7

From 2005 to 2010, he was the Director of India’s National Council for Educational Research and Training. Appointed to that position by the new Congress-led UPA government shortly after its 2004 electoral victory, Prof. Kumar took charge of an institution widely seen as having been used for political purposes by the preceding BJP-led NDA government.

In education, this has meant a change from an egalitarian to an elite system. Examinations emerged has the primary way of sorting students. Those who did well on various examinations rose to the next level, working their way up to higher education.
This system, combining credentialism, competition, and Confucian traditions, has had profound consequences, including a rise in inequality and a growing divide between urban and rural communities.
