Abstract

In the late 1980s, Cummings and associates highlighted a renaissance of interest in values education across the world. Their book, entitled The Revival of Values Education in Asia and the West (Cummings et al. 1988, p.3), contained rich information about how values education had penetrated the curriculum in 90 countries. Values education continued to ‘revive’, leading to another book entitled Values Education for Dynamic Societies, edited by Cummings and another group of associates (Cummings et al. 2001a). The book presented a study of values education in 20 settings in the Pacific Basin, showing in one way or another how values education remained a major concern to educational leaders. Asian scholarship has also contributed to the theme with a trilogy on citizenship education in Asia and Pacific (Lee et al. 2004; Grossman et al. 2008; Kennedy et al. 2010).
