Abstract
In “Part I: Sinic Education,” we discuss current educational reforms and practices in governance and management, curriculum and assessment, teachers and teaching, learners and learning, and home and community in countries and regions with Sinic civilization. We also explore the challenges and future directions for educational reforms as well as the dynamic, fluid, and contested convergence of educational practices within the social, political, economic, and cultural contexts of these Sinic societies. We end this Part by investigating the education of Asian immigrants in the West. Since many emigrants from Sinic civilization have come to live in the West, how they are educated and adapting to their new cultures, language, and places will shed light on the increasing diversity and complexity in the educational landscape across the globe. This Part consists of eight chapters.
