Textbook Mangement in the Stage of Basic Education in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region:Compilation,Approval,Selection and Monitoring
The management of teaching materials for basic education has an extremely important impact on the quality of teaching materials and the overall standard of education.The HKSAR has a systematic design for the compilation,approval,selection and monitoring of teaching materials for basic education,and has accumulated rich and unique experience in the management of teaching materials for basic education.As far as the development of teaching materials is concerned,publishers organise professional staff to develop teaching materials in accordance with the guidelines issued by the HKSAR Education Bureau.In respect of textbook review,the HKSAR Education Bureau has set up the Textbook Committee which is responsible for reviewing textbooks of subjects submitted for review.As far as the selection of teaching materials is concerned,schools and teachers enjoy a high degree of autonomy in selecting suitable teaching materials based on their professional judgement in teaching.As far as monitoring of teaching materials is concerned,textbooks published by publishers are monitored by the HKSAR Education Bureau,while school-based teaching materials are under the purview of schools.In general,under the free market mechanism,the management of teaching materials for basic education in the HKSAR hovers between control and freedom,with publishers and schools having a dominant role and the HKSAR Education Bureau in a leading position.The HKSAR basic education teaching materials system still needs to be continuously upgraded and improved.
