Review

“This volume features a unique pan-Asian perspective on education innovation. It will be an invaluable resource for educators seeking to understand the rapid transformation of higher education in Asia.”

Professor Tan Eng Chye, President of National University of Singapore

“The Asian Universities Alliance is a group of leading universities of Asia and the member universities of the Alliance are all engaged deeply with the education sector of their respective nations. Published by the Asian Universities Alliance with contributions from scholars of the Alliance Universities, this book gives a very authentic perspective on the recent developments and prospects for the future of the Asian education sector. The book includes chapters on innovations in teaching, doctoral education, online learning, social engagement, promotion of sustainability and university transformation. Each chapter has case studies based on the experience of the universities. The publication contains information and insights that would be useful for educationists in Asia and around the world and I commend the efforts of the editorial team, led by Dr Zhou Zhong, Professor Hamish Coates and Professor Jinghuan Shi, for producing this important work.”

Professor Devang Khakhar, former President of IIT Bombay
