The attempt to formalise National Education in Hong Kong public schools in 2012 has raised much furor and continued debate. Aiming at cultivating a Chinese national identity among Hong Kong students, National Education continues to be a controversial subject. This book sheds light on the perceptions of secondary educators on their own national identity and their perceptions of National Education. By providing a fresh perspective and up-to-date, first hand data, this book analyses how and what is taught in citizenship education based on how political, social and personal influences shape a teacher's perception.
