Abstract
This chapter reviews the nature of the relationship between education and politics in Hong Kong since the end of the Second World War. It covers the final years of its status as a British colony and its subsequent emergence as a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China from 1 July 1997. The escalation and mishandling by the government of the conflicts arising from the micropolitics of a single school had wide-reaching ramifications for Hong Kong’s politics more generally. Effectively it was the micro-politics of schooling which had major reverberations on the broader politics of Hong Kong. Whilst the various governments have attempted to use education to directly promote their own political agendas the nature of that connection has involved a clear separation between the society’s general politics and the politics of the educational sector.
