亚洲国家国际学校的挑战与启示--基于文化资本论的视角

The Challenge and Prospect of K-12 International Schools in Asian Countries-From the Perspective of Cultural Capital

自20世纪末起,亚洲国家兴起了一类新兴国际学校(被称作C类国际学校),主要接收亚洲国家东道国家庭子女,受到亚洲中产阶层的追捧。然而,国际学校在亚洲国家的快速发展,也为亚洲国家带来了人才外流、阶层固化以及东西方文化不平等加剧等问题。为了消除这类国际学校带来的负面影响,亚洲国家试图通过规范国际学校的课程设置和招生份额、鼓励本土国际学校的创立以及加强基础教育国际化的普及等方式,从而确保能够既满足本国公民多样化的教育需求,又能够培养具有国际视野和文化自信的公民。

Since the end of the 20th century,a new type of international schools(known as Class C international school)has emerged in Asian countries,mainly for the children of host families in Asian countries,are welcomed by Asian middle class.However,the rapid development of international schools has also brought many problems to Asian countries,such as brain drain,class solidification and the increased cultural inequality between the East and the West.In order to eliminate the negative impact of such international schools,some Asian countries have attempted to standardize the curriculum of international schools and their enrollment share,encourage the establishment of international schools by the local people,and strongly promote the internationalization of basic education,which can help to meet diversified educational needs of their citizens,and to cultivate self-confident citizens with the international vision and culture.
