Instead of documenting the successes and frustrations encountered by education reformers in specific jurisdictions, this book aims to offer directions for education reformers, and sets out to be prescriptive rather than descriptive. While the cases covered here are focused on Hong Kong, they are no less useful in throwing light upon the direction of education reform all over the world. This book will be of interest to scholars, educators, parents, policymakers, politicians, and all who are concerned about our younger generation and their future."--Jacket 606 $aEducational change$zChina$zHong Kong 606 $aEducation$xAims and objectives$zChina$zHong Kong 615 0$aEducational change 615 0$aEducation$xAims and objectives 676 $a370.95125 701 $aHo$b Lok-sang$0879837 701 $aMorris$b Paul$0409423 701 $aZhong$b Yuping$01830197 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963068603321 996 $aEducation reform and the quest for excellence$94400477 997 $aUNINA
