It is a scholarly monograph of conscientious educators and researchers who have been active during the education reform, collaborating with different parties on school development and classroom teaching experiments. This book provides a multiple-perspective investigation into the education and language matters. Besides socio-political perspectives, this book also emphasizes the frontline educational and practical perspectives. The book explores the benefits and effective methods of mother-tongue and multi-lingual teaching that have emerged in the period. Based on the problematic experience of language purism and bifurcation in the reform, the book argues for an inclusive multilingual education policy with mother-tongue as the core. This book provides potential solutions and good practices to tackle the complex issues brought about by medium of instruction policy reforms in post-colonial times. 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aLanguage Education 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aLanguage Education. 676 $a370.951 700 $aTse$b Shek-kam$01855445 702 $aKi$b Wing-Wah 702 $aShum$b Mark Shiu Kee 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910506399903321 996 $aControversies in Medium of Instruction Reform$94453596 997 $aUNINA
