Abstract/Notes: In 1921, Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) inaugurated Viśva Bhāratī as an institution of higher learning, an ‘uttarbibhāga’, as has been observed, based on the foundations of the brahmacaryāśrama, i.e., ‘pūrvabibhāga’. This special article is a critical reflection on some aspects of this history. First, it strives to historically situate the development of Viśva Bhāratī against the backdrop of the cosmopolitan transcultural entanglements of contemporaneous Indian intellectual life. Second, it endeavours to signpost some key strands of contemporaneous educational philosophy and their broader exigencies. In doing so, it neither claims to provide a definitive history of this institution based extensively on original research nor does it mean to narrate in any triumphalist tone its century-long journey. This then is a commemoration of the institution at its centenary by way of a critical reappraisal of the world of ideas from which it emerged and with focus on some of its early defining moments.

Abstract/Notes: In the last forty years, Montessori education has become popular in a number of Southeast and East Asian nations. According to the Association Montessori Internationale, in 2020 there were 13 countries in Southeast and East Asia with Montessori schools. Across the countries, the increase in online information and translated Montessori texts, changes in political leadership, the privatization of the education marketplace, and connections to international organizations have all contributed to the rise of Montessori in Southeast and East Asia. Across the region, schools are mostly private with the exception of Thailand’s large network of government Montessori programs. Challenges in implementation include high costs of teacher training and materials and varying fidelity of implementation, and compatibility with high stakes state exams. The chapter includes case studies of Montessori in Thailand, South Korea, Singapore and Vietnam.
