The handbook includes the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) countries for discussion---Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka---while also considering countries such as Myanmar and the Maldives that have considerable shared history in the region. Such a comparative perspective is largely absent within the literature given the present paucity of intra-regional interaction. South Asian education systems are viewed primarily through a development lens in terms of inequalities, challenges and responses. However, the development of modern institutions of education and the challenges that it faces requires cultural and historical understanding of indigenous traditions as well as indigenous modern thinkers and education movements. Therefore, this encompassing referenc e work covers indigenous education traditions, formal education systems, including school and preschool education, higher and professional education, education financing systems and structures, teacher education systems, addressing huge linguistic and other diversities, and marginalization within the formal education system, and pedagogy and curricula. All the countries in this region have their own unique geographical, cultural, economic and political character and histories of interest and significance, and have responded to common issues such as overcoming the colonial legacy, language diversity, or girls? education, or minority rights in education, in uniquely different ways. The sections therefore include country-specific perspectives as far as possible to highlight these issues. Internationally renowned specialists of South Asian education systems have contributed to this important reference work, making it an invaluable resource for researchers and students of education interested in South Asia. . 410 0$aGlobal Education Systems,$x2570-2270 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aEducation$xPhilosophy 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aSociology of Education 606 $aPhilosophy of Education 606 $aPolítica educativa$2thub 607 $aÀsia del Sud$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aEducation$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Education. 615 7$aPolítica educativa 676 $a370.954 702 $aSarangapani$b Padma 702 $aPappu$b Rekha 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495350003321 996 $aHandbook of Education Systems in South Asia$92129284 997 $aUNINA
