Futuristic Metropolis or Second-Rate Port? Adult Education in Hong Kong before and after 1997.

Boshier, Roger

Comparative Education, v33 n2 p265-75 Jun 1997

Describes the present adult education landscape in Hong Kong. Explores four scenarios for Hong Kong's future arising from positive and negative outcomes in the economy and human rights. Suggests that, ironically, returning Hong Kong to a Marxist state will jeopardize neo-Marxist (critical, emancipatory) approaches to adult education because of Chinese laws about subversion. Contains 24 references. (Author/SV)
