System capacity building in Hong Kong education reform: Strategies, challenges, and achievement

Abstract

System capacity has been well discussed in the western context and there are much evidence to support that the process of system capacity building is complicated. However, less research about system capacity building has been conducted in the context of eastern countries and regions. Hong Kong, as a special region where contains the culture from both eastern and western countries, has it’s own way of system capacity building. This article identified the strategies of system capacity building under the background of Hong Kong education reform including the curriculum reform, evaluation reform, teacher professional development and technology information implication in education. At the same time, achievements and challenges of system building in Hong Kong will be thoroughly discussed in this article as well. This article will make a contribution on understanding the theory of system capacity building in the context of the mixed culture in Hong Kong.
