Abstract
This paper reviews the implementation of civic education through social subjects in Hong Kong secondary schools and assesses the suggestions on the ways of implementation and measures made by the Guidelines on Civic Education in Schools in terms of the provision of formal curriculum, and objectives and coverage of the official syllabuses. Given the problem of relevance of the formal curriculum, this paper argues that it is ineffective to promote nationalistic and democratic education through the current social subjects. Finally, suggestions are made on the implementation of future civic education programmes.
