Educational outsourcing or contracting out is globally adopted to increase cost-efficiency, diversify curricula, and complement teacher expertise. However, it often results in issues of quality and equity, inadvertently compromising student learning and limiting the mobility of students from low-income families. The book draws on document-based research involving 131 schools in Hong Kong and case studies and a survey with selected schools and educational service providers. This book is of interest to policymakers, school leaders, teachers, and educational service providers, as it suggests the strategies addressing the abovementioned issues and will advance their understanding of educational outsourcing, equity, and policy processes. . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Citizenship Education for the 21st Century,$x2524-8499 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aCitizenship$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEducation$xCurricula 606 $aLanguage Education 606 $aCitizenship Education 606 $aCurriculum Studies 606 $aAnglès$2thub 606 $aEnsenyament de llengües estrangeres$2thub 606 $aCurrículums (Ensenyament)$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aCitizenship$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aEducation$xCurricula. 615 14$aLanguage Education. 615 24$aCitizenship Education. 615 24$aCurriculum Studies. 615 7$aAnglès 615 7$aEnsenyament de llengües estrangeres 615 7$aCurrículums (Ensenyament) 676 $a418.0071 700 $aChoi$b Tae-Hee$01777356 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910913784403321 996 $aOutsourcing of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages$94298168 997 $aUNINA
