While the prevailing research interest in East-West comparative studies still seems to be on explaining the superior performance of East Asian students, the time has come for researchers from both areas to focus on what countries can learn from one another. This commentary cites some of the most significant lessons learned from the papers in this special issue and asks additional research questions that might be worth pursuing.
