An exploration of the current challenges in social work education in Mainland China

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Social work education is facing multiple difficulties and challenges in Mainland China.
Partly because of a dearth of national studies on the viewpoints of social work educators to explore the alternatives, this qualitative study tried to fill in the gap to interview 23 social work educators to investigate into the issue. Twenty-three cities, across two municipalities, two autonomous regions, and 11 provinces were covered to provide a full picture of national education practices and trends.
