520 |a "Competition and Compassion in Chinese Secondary Education examines the nature of academic competition in Chinese schools and demonstrates its debilitating effects on adolescents' psychosocial development.

The book proposes a research-based approach for balancing academic achievement with the promotion of social and civic engagement in China and elsewhere"--  |c Provided by publisher
