The book brings together a wealth of original and insightful materials by scholars and practitioners in the field of education from diverse cultural backgrounds. Current issues of education, including school performance; school effectiveness, leadership and management, design and improvement; and the globalization and internationalization of local policies and policy reforms, are discussed from both Western and Asian cultural perspectives, showing both the similarities and differences of school leadership in these two worlds. In addressing the nature and the implications of these important issues from macro-system to micro-school levels, the book constitutes an invaluable resource for academics, policy makers, and practitioners alike.
