11th World Congress
The 11th World Congress of Comparative Education Societies was an outstanding occasion, organised by the Korean Comparative Education Society, under the leadership of Professor Lee Byungjin. The theme was "New Challenges and New Paradigms: Moving Education into the 21st Century".
More than 400 delegates attended, many from Asia. The venue thus provided an Asian perspective on comparative education, allowing further global balance after the previous congresses in Africa, Australia and Europe. The delegates were honoured by a video message of welcome from the President of the Republic of Korea, and by the attendance of the Deputy Prime Minister at the opening ceremony. Professor Lee and his colleagues prepared a highly successful blend of academic and cultural interaction, with delegates being treated to an excellent programme of presentations, visits and musical performances. Special thanks are due to TourNet for their indefatigable efforts in providing logistical support. A special double issue of the International Review of Education, featuring papers presented at the congress, will appear in 2003 and subsequently be published as a book. |
