After all, the former is an ancient Chinese tradition, and the latter is a modern phenomenon. But this book shows otherwise, by explaining how millennia-old Confucian ideas and practices can inform, inspire and improve school administration, teaching and learning today. Drawing upon major Confucian texts such as the \u003ci\u003eAnalects \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMencius \u003c\/i\u003e, as well as influential thinkers such as Confucius, Zhu Xi and Empress Xu, the various chapters address current educational issues and challenges such as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- What roles do schools play in fighting the coronavirus pandemic?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- How can humanity resolve the climate emergency?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- What (more) should school leaders do to promote education for girls?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Is there more to lifelong learning than just skills upgrading?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- What is missing in the existing frameworks on 21st century competencies?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- What new initiatives are needed to champion sustainable development?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfucian Philosophy for Contemporary Education answers the above questions and more by presenting a Confucian model of education. The author proposes a Confucian school where \u003ci\u003eDao \u003c\/i\u003e- a shared vision of human excellence - is realised through a mindful, learning-centred, action-oriented and ultimately humanising form of education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a useful resource for academic researchers, educators, students and general readers on Confucian philosophy and its continual relevance for present-day education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharlene Tan, PhD in philosophy, has spent the past two decades as a history teacher in a high school and a teacher educator at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
