Globalisation, Education, and Reform in Brunei Darussalam

This edited collection provides an in-depth examination of the education system, schooling, and teacher education in Brunei Darussalam in the context of globalization and reform. The accounts contained within this book present analyses and rich discussion of Brunei Darussalam’s historical, social, political, and cultural contexts that shape and inform its education system and its development and major reforms. In Part A, chapters foreground a number of educational reforms carried out in the country in terms of teacher training, teaching and learning, and introduction of new specializations in education. Part B specifically addresses how these reforms have been translated into teacher education in Brunei Darussalam. The final section probes how reform aspirations, teacher training, teaching, learning and schooling take place and take shape in the everyday classroom at varied educational settings and contexts in Brunei Darussalam.
