Abstract
Having introduced the background of China’s social change, school leadership, and CE, this chapter turns to these issues as they specifically apply to Shanghai. This chapter argues that social change and educational development in Shanghai is an active epitome of the CPC-led state. As a municipality directly under the central government, Shanghai could mirror the characteristics of China’s political, economic and educational development shown in Chap. 3. Shanghai has adopted the CPC-prescribed leadership system for government and schools, stressed implementing the CPC’s policies, and worked out local-specific methods to implement those policies that highlighted and reinforced the CPC’s leadership in the municipality. On the other hand, influenced by its history, geography and reform opportunity, Shanghai has played an important part in China’s economic development, and a pioneering role in reforming school leadership and CE. Shanghai’s leading role in economic and educational development, however, has still been guided by and has benefited from CPC policies, and has closely followed the CPC’s political framework.
