Meeting Description:
As education reforms in K-12 and higher
education are becoming intensified in Western
countries, especially in the US, there has been
a growing interest in Chinese education due to
Chinese students’ outstanding academic
performances, particularly in Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
However, the research literature on Chinese
education remains limited and outdated, and few
Chinese education scholars publish in English.
Since Chinese education theories and practices
are rooted in Confucianism, a systematic
examination of its influence on Chinese
education and its relevance to education in the
US and other Western countries is both
important and timely. The International
Conference on Confucianism and Education is
dedicated to this purpose. The conference will
advance our knowledge and understanding of
Confucian thoughts on education, inform efforts
to improve education in the US, and promote
cross-culture understanding between China and
the Western world.
