About the conference
The annual conference is our tradition of promoting scholarship
in comparative education. We Hong Kong scholars have continued to
shape this academic domain with professional discourses in English,
Cantonese Chinese and Putonghua, languages with which our local
experience and voices can be heard. We have also made this conference
an international platform that scholars from neighbouring countries
came to sharing their experiences. In the last few years, scholars
from Korea, Thailand, Russia, Philippines India, Bangladesh, England,
Australia, etc. attended our conferences. As globalization is becoming
a prevailing phenomenon, comparing educational changes in different
social context provides us vehicle for comparing notes on intellectual
enquiry and issues in educational development.
Theme: Comparing educational change in transforming societies
Languages: The conference languages include English, Chinese and
