The Prewar School Civic Education Policy in Hong Kong: A Historical Comparative Analysis
Abstract
The civic education policy at the school level in Hong Kong had emerged before the Second World War, but the Hong Kong Education Department did not really implement this civic education policy. From the statist and colonial perspectives, this phenomenon was due to several factors, such as (1) how the Hong Kong government coped with the whole historical period and scenarios, (2) how it implemented the related policy, (3) whether civic education policy really became part of the government agendas, and (4) whether education did clarify some crucial historical questions.
