At the Harvard Graduate School of Education, we believe that education is the foundation of a just society. Education affords children and adults the opportunity to reach their potential as learners and thereby become productive, proud citizens. This truth applies not only to the American classroom but to every nation and society, and especially holds true in the world's largest and most rapidly developing country: The People's Republic of China.
As China continues to grow and develop, and as their culture and economy expand in influence, China's need for high-quality, universal education will only increase. In addition to several burgeoning informal projects with Chinese universities, as well as the Chinese Ministry of Education, the following current projects and initiatives at GSE relate to China.
