		In Hong Kong, attainments (Grade E or above) in the HKALE Chinese Language and Culture and Use of English subjects are prerequisites for university admissions, similar to the language requirement of Grades A*-C in GCSE English for university admissions in the UK.

	International Higher Education--23/11
		Hong Kong higher education has gone through dramatic changes over the past 20 years, including an increase in the number of universities from two to seven, along with university-level enrollments growing from 2 to 18 percent of the age cohort.
		Hong Kong leaders note with dismay the contrast between Hong Kong and such Asian cities as Shanghai and Singapore, where nearly 60 percent of young people enter some form of postsecondary education.
		Hong Kong, with 18 percent of the age cohort entering university and another 12 percent or so entering other forms of short-cycle higher education, is clearly lagging behind in the provision of postsecondary education.

		In spite of the clear need for retrieval education in the Territory and the changes brought about by Hong Kong's shifting economic base, adult and continuing education is still a "poor relation" when it comes to government funding: all further education ventures are expected to be largely self-funding.
		This does not necessarily mean that further education is beyond government control however: mostly it is the UPGC funded institutions which organise short fee-paying courses through their extramural studies or continuing education units and these attract tens of thousands of enrolments each year.
		The Hong Kong partner will almost certainly be more experienced in the area of marketing education than most Western academics who simply may not see all the unforeseen expenses that will arise and which the overseas institution has explicitly or implicitly agreed to meet.

	Online NewsHour Forum: Hong Kong-- Jan. 10, 1997
		Gerard Postiglione, an American expert on education based in Hong Kong at Hong Kong University, considers the changes to date to the colonial system minimal, but there is a widespread conviction among the community that education at all levels, content and structure as well as funding, will receive priority attention after 1 July 1997.
		Some want to emphasize patriotic education and change the curriculum drastically, others want to end the widespread practice of two-shift primary schools (many children go to school the first half of the day and the other the second half), and nearly all want to end the heavy emphasis on exams.
		A Hong Kong history, comprehensive and fair and balanced, reporting all the views and trying to make a fair assessment, has yet to be written and certainly yet to be taught in the schools.
