A landmark academic study in the World Education Series, this work presents a comprehensive examination of the development and structure of China's educational system in the modern era. Written by R. F. Price of the School of Education at La Trobe University in Melbourne, it argues that China's approach to education is deeply intertwined with its political ideology, social transformation, and revolutionary history. The book details the policies, reforms, and institutional changes that shaped schooling across one of the world's most populous nations, from the early twentieth century through the Maoist period. With a scholarly yet accessible tone, it illustrates how education served as both a tool of state-building and a battleground for competing visions of modernity, making it an essential reference for students and researchers of comparative education and Asian studies.
