Colloque 2014 : L’éducation en Asie en 2014 : Quels enjeux mondiaux ? 12, 13 et 14 juin 2014, CIEP
For the 20th anniversary of the Revue internationale d’éducation de Sèvres, the Centre international d’études pédagogiques (CIEP) organises on 12, 13 and 14 June 2014 an international conference entitled “Education in Asia in 2014: What Global Issues?”.
A comparatist and pluridisciplinary approach.The conference aims to raise awareness and promote a better understanding of the educational realities of this diverse and important region. The conference will also provide an opportunity to consider how Asian countries are responding to their own educational challenges, and the relevance of these responses outside Asia. The questions asked of Asian education systems will be those that comparative specialists ask the world over, but it is also important to consider the links between education, traditions and civilisations, both within Asian countries and in comparison with others.
The focus of the conference will be on school education. Bringing together 40 speakers from around twenty countries, the conference will be organized around the following three core strands: 1) Asia’s education systems: How is school represented? 2) Asia’s education systems: Organizations, strategies and results? 3) Education in Asia and across the world: Towards Asian models? Towards competition or cooperation?
Which “Asias” are we referring to?While education in Asia is based specifically around two key educational experiences, that of Chinese-influenced Asia and that of the Indian traditions, other educational traditions and contexts that are less specific to Asia, such as the Muslim tradition, will also be taken into account, as well as the historical, ideological and political developments particular to each country. The following contexts will be considered: China, South Korea, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Vietnam.
Publications and online content. The 24 case studies from the workshops are published online in French and English.An extensive annotated bibliography, produced for the conference by the CIEP’s Resource and Documentary Centre (CRID), and country profiles giving a broad outline of Asian education systems are available online. Issue 68 (April 2015) of the Revue internationale d’éducation de Sèvres further explores the issues discussed during the conference.

ATELIER 1 : DISCOURS ET RÉCITS SUR L’ÉDUCATION EN ASIE
Workshop 1: Discourse and narratives on educationEdited by Laurence Cornu and Pierre-Louis GauthierThis workshop addresses the issue of education from the point of view of the discourses and narratives in use in different countries in order to justify the frameworks and policies of their education systems. How have new discourses been developed on the basis of foreign education models imposed by various colonising and imperialistic forces?
Discourse on results: Do the results of evaluations feed into discourses on education systems? In what ways?
Discourse on the value systems that underlie education systems: What status is accorded to cultural and historical heritage? To individual development? To the role of women? To new educational models?
Discourse on education systems in contemporary society: How much importance is accorded to the relationship between school and families, to the evolving relationship between centralism and autonomy, and to ethnic minorities and rural areas? What status is accorded to the education profession and to the transmission of knowledge and traditional and national values?-

ATELIER 2 : SAVOIRS, CURRICULA ET PÉDAGOGIES
Workshop 2: Knowledge, curricula and pedagogyEdited by Roger-François GauthierHow, and to what extent, is the issue of what education systems teach a strategic matter? To what extent are countries’ education systems a strategic matter? To what extent do traditional cultural contexts continue to shape the curriculum? We will identify the changes that have taken place over recent decades and ask what accounts for these changes, and what have been the sticking points and effects. We will consider to what extent and how these issues will develop over the coming years: Which actors have influence and decision-making powers? Does globalisation influence curricular matters?

ATELIER 3 : ENJEUX ET MODALITÉS DU FINANCEMENT DE L’ÉDUCATION EN ASIE
Workshop 3: Issues and conditions associated with the funding of education in AsiaEdited by Nolwen HenaffThis workshop will examine the lessons that can be drawn from specific examples of education funding in Asia. In particular, we will consider how funding is distributed between different actors within the education system, taking Vietnam as our starting point; education funding for India’s disadvantaged; and the basis on which aid is granted in Asian countries, notably by Japan and South Korea.

ATELIER 4 : ÉVOLUTIONS DES ORGANISATIONS SCOLAIRES FACE AUX MUTATIONS SOCIOÉCONOMIQUES
Workshop 4: Changes in school education systems as a result of social and economic transformationsEdited by Odile Luginbühl and Maroussia RaveaudAsian societies, the majority of which have been marked both by traditional cultures and by various forms of colonization, have undergone a rapid transition towards economic and technological modernity. Changing needs and educational requirements have resulted in the massification and, simultaneously, commodification of education in a context of pronounced social and geographic disparities. These transformations are accompanied by reforms, raising the question of how political will and societal pressure are related: How does school adapt to changes in society? What new societal needs and requirements have been expressed in the field of education? Do changes in society have repercussions on educational objectives, content and practices?

ATELIER 5 : ÉCOLE ET SOCIÉTÉS, LA CONFIANCE EN JEU
Workshop 5: School and society: A matter of trustEdited by Mark BraySchooling has been a pillar of social structures in Asian societies for decades and even centuries. In this respect, its role in Asia parallels that in other parts of the world. However, recent decades have brought signs that families may not have full confidence that schooling by itself is adequate to meet their needs. One obvious manifestation is the expansion of the shadow education system of private supplementary tutoring. This itself has different forms in different countries. In some settings school teachers provide much tutoring, often to the students for whom they are responsible in mainstream classes. In other settings, the tutoring is provided by commercial companies. Questions addressed by this workshop will include: What are the features and implications of shadow education, and why is it expanding? What government policies are desirable in this domain? And what has been the impact in the education sector of decentralization policies and allocation of places to communities on school management committees?

ATELIER 6 : EXISTENCE ET INFLUENCE DE MODÈLES ASIATIQUES
Workshop 6: The existence and influence of Asian models?Edited by Jean-Marie De Ketele and Bernard HugonnierThe purpose of this workshop is to compare our models and our modelling processes with Asian education systems in order to make the latter more intelligible; to examine how they are evolving and the influence of foreign models; to fine-tune our implicit and explicit models regarding them; to consider the possibility that there might be a general model common to the various Asian education systems or, on the contrary, distinctive models for certain countries or groups of countries, or indeed, the possibility of a differentiation based on a distinction between urban areas and highly rural areas, or any other possibilities.
