Rethinking Secondary Education in the Knowledge-Based Society

Our session calls for papers on contemporary and future secondary education in the knowledge-based society. Higher education has become competitive in the globalizing world. However, individual competition in the knowledge-based society begins even before higher education. Secondary education is an important turning point for an individual’s social mobility process. Naturally, secondary education is embedded in each nation’s institutional context, and many countries have a double-track system comprising an academic route and vocational route, reflecting contemporary industrial society. However, we do not have common strategies for efficient secondary education in the future knowledge-based society. We must design a new school system for secondary education coping with this new social inequality. We welcome papers on education in both the elitist academic route and the vocational route in secondary schools.
