It identifies continuities and changes in discourses shaped by diverse forces in public lower secondary school admissions in the context of China?s social transformation from a profit-driven society to a more equitable society, and elucidates the power relationships among stakeholders in public school admissions by analysing their interplay in the process. More importantly, it exposes how current socio-economic, institutional and educational systems are shaping the engagement of stakeholders in the public school admissions process. It also presents some on-going projects intended to yield new policies and practices for more equitable public secondary education in China in the development stage of the post-2015. 410 0$aEducation in the Asia-Pacific Region: Issues, Concerns and Prospects,$x2214-9791 ;$v43 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aSociology of Education 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 14$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 676 $a370.116 676 $a370.9 700 $aLiu$b Jing$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0768805 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299532403321 996 $aInequality in Public School Admission in Urban China$92505935 997 $aUNINA
