Abstract
This symposium will discuss developments in policy and practice in two major cities; one in China and one in the UK. Some issues are shared: housing, employment, regeneration, public-private sector relationships, selection and competition in education. However, the approach to educational reform taken in each city has been influenced by marked contrasts in culture, politics and the size of their population.
Contributors to the symposium have been involved in long-term collaborative studies of processes of inclusion and exclusion in China and the UK. Implications arising from this work for areas such as policies for social justice, central-local government relationships, professional development, specialised education, vocational education and parental participation will be explored.
