The Hong Kong School Curriculum and the Political Transition: Politicisation, Contextualisation and Symbolic Action.
Morris, Paul; Chan, K. K.
Comparative Education, v33 n2 p247-64 Jun 1997
Three case studies of changes in civics education, social studies, and liberal studies (emphasizing critical thinking about controversial issues) demonstrate that Hong Kong's political transition to Chinese sovereignty has significantly affected the intended curriculum but not the implemented curriculum, which has been strongly influenced by parental attitudes and competition among schools for academically able students. Contains 36 references. (Author/SV)
