Education in Canada at the Dawn of the 21st Century
This book on Canadian education is written in Japanese, and is affiliated with the Japanese Association for Canadian Education Studies (JACES)
"Written by a group of scholars, including at least three CIESC members (Kobayashi, Sakamoto, and Kodama),
the book is in Japanese and is about education in Canada. Published by Toshindo Ltd., Tokyo, 2003, this
publication is the recipient of the 'Canadian Prime Minister's Award for Publishing, 2002 2003'. It
would be difficult not to think of Education in Canada at the Dawn of the 21st Century as a good
example among Comparative Education's books. We have chosen to let the book speak for itself, and would like to
reserve the pleasure of reading and of enjoying this fine work to our CIESC members and friends" (D.Tran, 2004).
