Exploring Educational Policy Transfer

This book examines the detailed process of China's borrowing from the Japanese vocational education model from the perspective of educational policy transfer. It is expected that a systematic examination of the history of China's borrowing of Japanese vocational education through the lens of educational policy transfer will, on the one hand, fill the gap in the study of the history of vocational education in China from the perspective of educational policy transfer, and on the other hand, allow the applicability of the educational transfer theoretical framework to be tested through the example of China's borrowing from Japanese vocational education.

Examines China's borrowing of Japanese vocational education model from late Qing and the early Republic of China Tests and further develops the theory of educational policy transfer from a global perspective Explores the history of vocational education in China
