Education and socio-political change: The continued growth and evolution of the international schools sector in Hong Kong

This paper adds to the broad literature on education and socio-political change by presenting the distinctive case of the international schools sector in Hong Kong. It examines the growth of the sector and changing roles of the institutions within it. The sector was initially created to serve various foreign populations, but has increasingly served the local population too. Much of the evolution has been caused by social and political transition. The sector is not large, but is an instructive barometer of wider changes.
