The Implementation of Inclusive Education in Beijing: Exorcizing the Haunting Specter of Meritocracy

by Kai Yu

The Chinese educational experience illustrates a vacillation between a socialist egalitarian belief and a liberal cost-effective development model. The apex of China's education system has become a privileged meritocracy. By studying battles of ideologies among policy makers and implementers, Kai Yu's The Implementation of Inclusive Education in Beijing develops effective strategies for change in schools where institutional values are contested. This book will help policy researchers decipher the enigma of policy implementation in a centralized system like China.
