About this ebook

Identifying the essential feature of education for international understanding advocated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the book explores how Chinese schools have implemented education for international understanding since the 1980s.

Through vivid cases, the author introduces the practice of education for international understanding in Chinese primary and middle schools. Based on the questionnaire survey, she analyzes the international understanding competence of Chinese students and teachers. Furthermore, she discusses the current dilemma and proposes possible solutions for Chinese education for international understanding in the future.

While providing a window into China's contemporary education for the international community, the book can also be used as a reference for educational policymakers, educational researchers and primary and secondary school teachers in other countries.

This book is not only a landmark book that records the EIU of China, but also a proposal for action for the future. It reminds us that in the face of global challenges, education is not only a tool for imparting knowledge, but also a soil for cultivating "the wisdom of humanity". The book provides a valuable mirror for education researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, and also illuminates a lamp of thought for all those who care about the fate of mankind.
