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, including the
government of Hong Kong, the Catholic Church, parents, students,
teachers, the central authorities of Beijing, and even the
bureaucratic politics between Beijing, the Hong Kong government and
the Examination Authority. They examine the key elements of
education reform in the HKSAR, including language and curriculum
reform, national security education, civic and patriotic education,
the rise of the pro-Beijing education elites and interest groups,
and the revamp of examination questions and examination authority.
The entire education reform in the HKSAR has pushed the Hong Kong
education system toward a process of mainlandization, making Hong
Kong's education system more similar to the mainland system with
emphasis on political "correctness" in the understanding of Chinese
national security, history and culture. Highlighting the political
struggles among the various stakeholders, this book is essential
for scholars of Hong Kong and China, especially those with an
interest in the relationship between education and politics.
