In Education in China, ca. 1840-present Meimei Wang, Bas van Leeuwen and Jieli Li offer a description of the transformation of the Chinese education system from the traditional Confucian teaching system to a modern mode. In doing so, they touch on various debates about education such as the speed of the educational modernization around 1900, the role of female education, and the economic efficiency of education. This description is combined with relevant data stretching from the second half of 19th century to present collected mainly from statistical archives and contemporary investigations.

The authors examine how personnel managers in the educational public sector might employ variants of privatization to achieve public goals. Privatization supporters see it as a magic bullet to improve failing public schools, whereas opponents view it as a threat to public education. The authors argue for a more complex understanding of privatization in public education. Analysts typically overlook the potential for privatization to change traditional personnel practices and the incentives of public servants. Accordingly, the authors define privatization as including the incentives employed within organizations. By this definition, many public bureaucracies may currently serve private interests. The authors then discuss various means of privatization in public education, including vouchers, public charter schools, subcontracting public school management to private providers, and merit pay for teachers. After describing the extant literature and case studies of various forms of privatization, the authors conclude that privatization, broadly defined, can align the private interests of employees with public values.

The papers contained in the presented volume, which is a continuation of the publication Education, Culture, and Technologies. Vol. 1, presents views of young researchers, humanists, and artists on education and culture in the context of the digital world and media, that is, from the perspective of cyberculture. In such a perspective, the role of art, both the traditionally considered high art and popular art, influencing people outside the rational argumentation, directly stimulating their emotions and co-construing their worldviews, cannot be overestimated and is reflected further in social approaches towards important social and political problems. However, the pandemic has challenged the traditional forms of functioning of some kinds of art, especially live performances in need of an audience, as in the case of theatre, which was forced to search for new ways of reaching the public and maintaining its function. Art also has an indirect educative role, which should be further explored in more institutionalized contexts because the digital technological change in education provided not only tools for self-learning, distant learning, and so on but also brought about various challenges in terms of teacher authority and the reliability of the information found online. This information might be very convincing and highly popular but being persuasive and widespread does not equal being true or right. Therefore, analytical and critical skills are needed to maneuver the turbulent waters of digital world.

TAPE RECORDINGS PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR THIS ARTICLE IN WHICH SPOKESMEN OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS EXPLAIN HOW THERE HAS BEEN A CONSCIOUS EFFORT IN CHINESE EDUCATION TO DEVELOPE AND STRENGTHEN THE "SOCIALIST NEW THINGS" WHICH HAVE EMERGED OR FURTHER DEVELOPED SINCE THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION IN THE CONTINUING STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE BOURGEOIS WORLD OUTLOOK AND THE PROLETARIAN WORLD OUTLOOK.

Although the mainstream media and education systems are key institutions that perpetuate various social inequalities, spaces exist—both within and beyond these institutions—where adults and youth resist dominant, damaging representations and improvise new images. In this article, we address why educational researchers and educators should attend closely to popular media and democratizing media production. We analyze and illustrate strategies for engaging with and critiquing corporate news media and creating counter‐narratives. We explore media education as a key process for engaging people in dialogue and action as well as present examples of how popular culture texts can be excavated as rich pedagogical resources. Key words: media literacy, cultural studies, participatory democracy, popular culture, news, youth, schooling, public sphere, media education, educational policy Bien que les médias et systèmes d'éducation traditionnels soient des institutions clés qui perpétuent divers types d'inégalités sociales, il existe des espaces – à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur de ces institutions – où les adultes et les jeunes opposent une résistance aux représentations dominantes préjudiciables et improvisent de nouvelles images. Dans cet article, les auteures expliquent pourquoi les chercheurs en éducation et les enseignants devraient porter une attention spéciale aux médias populaires et à la démocratisation de la production dans le domaine des médias. Elles analysent et illustrent des stratégies favorisant l'implication dans les médias d'information, la critique de ces médias et la création de discours variés apportant un contrepoids au discours dominant. Les auteures explorent l'initiation aux médias comme un outil‐clé pour inciter les gens au dialogue et à l'action et montrent, à partir d'exemples, comment le dépouillement de textes tirés de la culture populaire peut constituer une méthode pédagogique fructueuse.

Abstract
Practices of exclusion towards deviance based on prejudices or ideologies have been present in every age and in every cultural context, often taking the stigmatization process. Recently UNESCO in 2015 released its latest report indicating that despite the efforts of governments, civil society and the international communities, the Education for All was not yet a reality in the world. The poor, people with mental or physical disabilities, children with learning disabilities "are not in a position" to grow and develop as the others. In particular as regards students with Special Educational Needs, to still a challenge to find a teaching that is "common denominator" for all students without leaving anyone out is still a "inclusive" rather than a "special" that favours the relationship within whole class and relationships outside it.
