Biography
Dr. Yi Liu is a faculty member at Southwest University in China, specialising in teaching pedagogy to pre-service teachers and international students. He holds a PhD in Education from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Dr. Liu's research focuses on teacher education and the enhancement of educational policies.
"Teachers play a pivotal role, globally, in social development, but the profession is not always a first career choice. Yi Liu’s The Central Government-Funded Teacher Education Policy in China examines the impact of China’s national policy on the career-choice motivation of pre-service teachers. I recommend this book both for its insights into Chinese policy for rural education and as an inquiry into the wider relationship between public-funding and beginning teachers’ motivation."
