回顾一个学制改革失败的个案1988年香港民间所提出的-edborghk.PDFVIP

Hong Kong Teachers’ Centre Journal , Vol. 4 © Hong Kong Teachers’ Centre 2005 A case study of Hong Kong education reform: critical review of secondary and higher education system reform blueprint in 1988 Abstract The Education and Manpower Bureau has published recently a report on the new academic structure for senior secondary education and higher education. The proposed “3+3+4” reform will provide three years of junior secondary education, three years of senior secondary education and four years of university education. Many educators supported this proposal. However, it is important to note that the current proposed reform is actually similar to a blueprint of the academic structure reform put forth by 21 education concern groups in 1988. The blueprint was proposed as a response to the recommendations of the Education Commission Report Number Three published in 1988. And this blueprint was not accepted by the Hong Kong Government. This paper reports and comments on these proposals and blueprints with a view to generating constructive insights for building an ideal education system in Hong Kong. 54 Keywords reform on academic structure, review on the higher education system
