Explaining Curriculum Change: Social Studies in Hong Kong.
Morris, Paul; And Others
Comparative Education Review, v41 n1 p27-43 Feb 1997
Traces the emergence and tenuous survival of social studies as a school subject in Hong Kong, 1971-present.

However, adoption of social studies and how it is taught has varied widely in Hong Kong's notably autonomous schools. (SV)
