This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date picture of national education in Hong Kong. At the societal level, it offers an in-depth understanding of a divisive issue for Hongkongers, elaborating the official approach so that diverse stakeholders have a basis for re-evaluating the nature and implementation of national education for rational and critical dialogue. At the policy and curricular level, it offers evidence-based suggestions to foster inclusive and reflective decision-making and curriculum development related to national education. At a practical level it facilitates the teaching of national education in schools and helps diverse stakeholders to reflect on how national education relates to them, and what they can do to co-construct an inclusive and reflective national education. The book will interest researchers in multicultural education, national identity, identity politics and China and Hong Kong Studies.
