Schools highlighted in the book are the epitome of that history, as buildings as well as institutions. In July 2020, the Hong Kong Museum of Education (HKME) launched a book entitled Cradle – Education Now and Then in the Central and Western District , which chronicles the history of education development in Hong Kong since the colonial era. On top of a selection of old photographs and anecdotes collected from individual schools and their alumni in the district, the book presents a collection of three-dimensional models of school buildings of historic value, which can be viewed with the use of augmented reality technology by readers. This publication serves as an important documentation of Hong Kong’s education heritage, which will appeal to general readers and scholars alike. Promoting Hong Kong’s education heritage 弘揚香港教育文化遺產
