DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2017-3-171-177
The article represents a brief review of perspective, in which contemporary foreign researchers in the field of education in the countries of East and South-East Asia are engaged. In the modern world, there is a gradual refusal from the ideas about the leading role of educational systems in Western Europe and North America, at least in the sphere of higher education. The countries of East and South-East Asia are actively modernizing higher education, creatively adopting and altering the practices executed in other regions. At the same time, as a role model not only Western Europe and North America are shown, but also the achievements of education in the countries of Latin America. Economic achievements of the countries of East Asia, in particular China and Japan, allow to create structures, which actively compete with educational systems in other regions of the planet. Some aspects of development of the higher education in the countries of East and Southeast Asia have obvious crossings with similar aspects of development of the higher education in Russia. It demands further comparative researches for transfer of the most successful achievements of Asian models of higher education. As a result, the level of the international interaction will increase, and Russian education will get additional benefits in competitive fight in global education market.
