Abstract
The field of comparative education has often addressed the theme of transferring educational models and policies across national borders. Model borrowing is a phenomenon seen around the world, including those which have taken place with force under colonization. Now, the global nature of our world today facilitates the spread of global educational model borrowing beyond the boundaries of nation-states at an unprecedented pace. Foreign envoys flock to countries which are seen as “success stories” based on scores of international achievement tests such as PISA and TIMESS, and educational models born from one national or cultural context are transmitted easily through means such as the Internet. Such processes also become business opportunities.
How should we understand and deal with this situation of our times? What is happening, and what are the mechanisms taking place as a model born from the context of one country globalizes or is transplanted in other countries at a pace not seen before. What insights does the field of comparative education have to offer to this theme, to educational borrowing in a new age of global business opportunities?
Such questions will be asked through the presentations of speakers from Finland, Singapore, and Japan, all countries whose educational models have attracted international attention.
