Educational Stratification, School Expansion, and Public Policy in Hong Kong.
Post, David
Sociology of Education, v67 n2 p121-38 Apr 1994
Reviews recent changes in Hong Kong's policy to extend free and compulsory education to the first three years of secondary schooling. Examines the consequences of this expansion and finds that the changes in public policy had a substantial impact on the ability of young people, especially girls, to go to secondary school, regardless of income.
