Abstract
Following initiations in educational reform that began
in the 1990s, Hong Kong continues to experience
considerable pressure for educational reform. On the
surface many of these initiatives parallel reform
policies/movements in Asia and indeed, globally. The
success of any reform is dependent on how it is
contextualised prior to and at implementation. In this
article, an exploration is made into how reforms in four
particular sareas, namely: professional development of
principals, higher education, English language standards,
and inclusion of students with learning difficulties have
been conceived, contextualised and managed in Hong Kong, as
it moves gradually toward increased adoption of education
reforms. These areas are linked in that each describes and
critiques contextualization with reference to areas such as
accountability, co-operation and professional control.
