Abstract
Understanding the current state of education in a given society requires in-depth analyses of the discourses and actions of different actors at local and global levels. The theme of the 2016 World Congress of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES), “Dialectics of Education: Comparative Perspectives,” held from 22nd to 26th August, 2016 in Beijing, China, offered a global platform to present contemporary issues pertaining to educational theories, policies, and practices.
