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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlighting 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSonny Shiu-Hing Lo\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Politics at HKU SPACE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteven Chung-fun Hung\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Sciences at the Education University of Hong Kong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 29, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53448484159795,"sku":"9780367706234","price":97.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/the-politics-of-education-reform-in-chinas-hong-kong-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
