Phoenix Transformed : The Reconstruction of Education in Post-War Hong Kong

Both a history of the system and a study of the process of policy making, A Phoenix Transformed analyses the emergence of a distinctive Hong Kong education system during the first post-war decade and describes in detail the largely chaotic government policy-making that engendered it. Through archival reseach and interviews with many of the territory's education policymakers, Anthony Sweeting recounts the rebuilding of the education system, focusing on schooling at the primary and secondary levels.Sweeting, Anthony is the author of 'Phoenix Transformed : The Reconstruction of Education in Post-War Hong Kong', published 1994 under ISBN 9780195855203 and ISBN 0195855205.
