Abstract
The research reflected herein reveals not only
current educational developments in China butsexemplifies the
usefulness of comparative education. This publication, stemming from
a June 1988 conference in Buffalo, New York, on education in China,
is written from a uniquely Chinese perspective mixed with a firm
understanding of sducation in other countries and of a variety of
research methodo]ogies learned from doctoral study in the United
States. Topics include an organizational analysis of central
administration; expansion of higher education (1977-1987); current
reform in higher education; issues and trends of the specialization
structure in higher education; an analysis of issues and perspectives
on compulsory nine-year education; policies and realities concerning
why high school teachers do not want to teach; the conflict between
two career options (vocational or liberal arts education); status
differences in the natural and social sciences; m-aining and
development in distance education and learning; a perspective on the
development of career counseling; and women's education--progress and
contradictions in revolution and in modernization.
