National education in Hong Kong in the new era
This is the first systematic academic project aiming to provide a comprehensive, detailed, and updated picture of national education in Hong Kong. Its primary objective is to use thematic analysis to examine government documents, major news media, and government-endorsed school textbooks from 2020 to 2026, identifying the official approach to promoting national education and its limitations, and providing suggestions to improve national education. Its values and originality lie on three levels. On the societal level, given that national education has become a “hot potato” that divides society and many Hongkongers are troubled by it, this timely project offers a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the official approach, so that diverse stakeholders have a basis for re-evaluating the nature and implementation of national education and for rational and critical dialogue. On the policy and curricular level, it offers evidence-based suggestions to foster inclusive and reflective decision-making and curricula development related to national education. On the practical level, it facilitates the teaching of national education by educators in schools and helps both the Chinese and ethnic minority students reflect on how national education relates to them and what they can do to co-construct an inclusive and reflective national education.
