Abstract	In this article the author describes a number of ways in which non-western cultures have adopted and used western educational approaches, forming an illustrative typology of these adaptations. She provides an illustration(s) of each category in the typology, briefly presenting the history of the category, detailing its modern state, and discussing selected aspects of the effectiveness of a particular educational system. Efficacy is discussed along the following indicators for the country(ies) exemplified in a given category: (1) literacy rates in the general population, (2) standing of the country's students as exemplified by results of international comparison studies, and (3) perceived standing of higher-education graduates of a given educational system as judged by the international labour market or commented on by the international community.
