Asia educates half of the world's children. What those children learn in school will determine our collective global future. Study spring semester with two leading scholars on Japanese and Chinese education and then learn firsthand about sweeping educational reform in Japan and China by joining us in May for a 2-week trip to Tokyo and Beijing.

The course and trip are supported by the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and the East Asian Studies Center, through a grant from the Freeman Foundation.
