The Hong Kong School Curriculum: Development, Issues, and Policies

Explains the process and concepts central to the devising of school curriculums, and then places them within the context of the rapidly changing nature of Hong Kong schools. The author addresses basic questions of curriculum intent, teaching method, and student assessment strategies; technical questions of how to implement and plan curriculums; and social and political aspects such as decision making power, influence, and future priorities. He attempts to answer these questions for Hong Kong from both normative and positive perspectives (i.e. what should happen versus what does happen). Distributed by ISBS.
