Integrating Primary School Curriculum in Hong Kong: The Way Forward (Article written in chinese)

Wai-Lun LEUNG

Abstract

From the perspective of postmodernism and advances in information and communication technology, education in Hong Kong needs to cater for the future of the society as well as the individuals; and there is a potential capacity for the reform of current primary school curriculum. The Curriculum Development Council (2001) announces the approaches and strategies for curriculum reform in the coming ten years by encouraging school-based curriculum development as well as integrated learning. Curriculum integration is not a “new” issue. There are many challenges and obstacles for the implementation; and the critical factors are in relation to “Teacher”, “School” and “Education System”.

Keywords: school-based curriculum; integrated learning; curriculum integration; curriculum reform; Curriculum Development Council
