H education in Hong Kong has undergone two major phases of change in recent years. The first started in the midto late 1980s, spurred on by the drive for efficiency and the expansion of a previously elitist system; the second was marked by the return of Hong Kong’s sovereignty to China in 1997. This article describes higher education in Hong Kong two years on. The current situation is a convergence of internal systemic development, the China factor, and the recent economic downturn.
