Whose Wishes? King’s Logic Game
Abstract
Education is an indispensable factor in historical development which closely connects with various aspects including politics, religion and economy. Here, I will direct my attention to politics, and analyze the possible relationships between education and it. Since ancient time, the rulers’ political dependence on education has never disappeared. In king’s logic game, cultural unification is more important than geographic unification. The country will be peaceful for a long time only if the concept of governance and the theory of education complement each other. If rifts occur, turmoil occurs. In what follows, I will divide the sections according to different geographic regions: Africa, India, China. In each part, I will explain the changes of educational systems and educ-political accounts following the timeline.References
