Description
Education reform has become a highly political issue in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) since the transfer of sovereignty to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Lo and Hung focus on the political struggles among stakeholders.
"This book documents the education transformation that ends the city’s colonial heritage and creates "China’s Hong Kong." The city’s recent political and social upheaval has come and gone, but clearly repercussions within the city are ongoing. The education reform process is characterised throughout as the process of ‘mainlandization.’ The previous protest movement, driven by anti-China sentiment and localist identification, has now ironically resulted in an education reform process reflecting China’s political system and values."---Kerry J Kennedy, Professor Emeritus, The Education University of Hong Kong.
