China has given high priority to develop its entire educational system including early childhood education. Through secondary data and empirical studies, this paper critically analyzes the policy formulation, implementation, and evaluation of China's national plan for medium and long-term education reform and development (2010-2020) with regard to early childhood education. The study indicated that formulation of the plan was done with high collaboration of the government and the people. Both ordinary people and experts in the field participated through various platforms. So far, the plan is meeting its objectives, although there are discrepancies between different provinces, and within municipalities. The study will enable to shape the education policy in practice, and share the experiences of China to other countries with similar initiatives.

“…As this study focuses on the experiences of Eritrean higher education students and staff at their institutions' pedagogical practices, qualitative research design enables to explore the contextual conditions and understand the phenomena in a broader sense for creating understanding and critical analysis (MCNABB, 2008). "Case study research is often done without attempting broad or even limited generalization, but readers of the research may find applications to other situations" (WIERSMA & JURS, 2004: 216).…”

This study argues that there are important potentialities in the interplay between critical pedagogy and course content in Eritrean Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) for cultivating graduates who are prepared to act as global citizens. To understand whether these potentialities are being realized, an examination of HEIs' pedagogical practices is necessary. Thus, through document analysis and semi-structured interviews, this study asked, how do students and staff at Eritrean HEIs experience these institutions' pedagogical practices? Despite different challenges, the study concluded that Eritrean HEIs, through their use of mixed pedagogical practices that illustrate both critical and semi-interactive pedagogical experiences, are indeed equipping their students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to act as responsible global citizens. Without generalization, the research to some extent can be considered as explanatory to other developing states and nation-states with similar conditions as Eritrea.* Beijing Normal University (China). The Role of Higher Education in Nurturing Global Citizenship in Eritrea Samson M. Tsegay 184Revista Española de Educación Comparada, 28 (2016), 183-201 DOI: 10.5944/reec.28.2016 KEY WORDS: Eritrea, Higher Education, Pedagogical Practice, Globalization, Global Citizenship. RESUMENEste estudio argumenta que existen potencialidades importantes en la interacción entre la pedagogía crítica y el contenido de los cursos en las instituciones de educación superior de Eritrea (IES) para formar a unos graduados que se están preparados para actuar como ciudadanos globales. Para comprender si se están desarrollando estas potencialidades, es necesario examinar las prácticas pedagógicas de las IES. Así, a través del análisis documental y de entrevistas semiestructuradas, este estudio se preguna, ¿cómo experimentan los estudiantes y el personal de las IES de Eritrea las prácticas pedagógicas de estas instituciones? A pesar de los diferentes desafíos, el estudio concluye que las IES de Eritrea, a través del uso de prácticas pedagógicas mixtas que ilustran experiencias pedagógicas críticas y semi-interactivas, están equipando a sus estudiantes con los conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes para actuar como ciudadanos globales responsables. Aunque sin poder generalizar, la investigación puede considerarse como explicativa de otros estados en vías de desarrollo y estados-nación con condiciones similares a Eritrea.
