Education in Hong Kong is largely modelled on that of the United Kingdom, particularly the English system. It is overseen by the Education Bureau and the Social Welfare Department. Small village Chinese schools were observed by the British missionaries when they arrived circa 1843.〔The Chinese Repository, Article III 'Religious and Charitable Institutions in Hongkong:Churches, Chapels, Schools, Colleges, Hospital, etc' August 1843 issue, p.440〕 Anthony Sweeting believes those small village schools existed in Stanley, Shek Pai Wan, Heung Kong Tsai and Wong Nai Chong on Hong Kong Island, although proof is no longer available.〔Sweeting, Anthony. () (1990). Education in Hong Kong, pre-1841 to 1941. p.87, Hong Kong University Press. ISBN 962-209-258-6〕 One of the earliest schools with reliable records was Li Ying College established in 1075 in present-day New Territories.〔Bryn Mawr College. "(Brynmawr Eastasian pdf )."

Chinese who were wealthy did not educate their children in Hong Kong, instead they sent them to major Chinese cities, such as Canton, for traditional Chinese education.〔 The changes came with the arrival of the British in 1841. At first Hong Kong's education came from Protestant and Catholic missionaries who provided social services. Italian missionaries began to provide boy-only education to British and Chinese youth in 1843.〔Bray, Mark. Koo, Ramsey. () (2005) Education and Society in Hong Kong and Macao: Comparative Perspectives on Continuity and Change. Hong Kong: Springer Press. ISBN 1-4020-3405-9〕 By 1861 Frederick Stewart would become "The Founder of Hong Kong Education" for integrating a modern western-style education model into the Colonial Hong Kong school system.〔Wiltshire, Trea. (published 1987 ) (republished & reduced 2003). Old Hong Kong – Volume One. Central, Hong Kong: Text Form Asia books Ltd. Page 8. ISBN Volume One 962-7283-59-2〕 One of the much contested debate was whether schools should offer Vernacular education, teaching in Chinese at all.〔 Education was considered a luxury for the elite and the rich. The first school to open the floodgate of western medical practice to East Asia was the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese. The London Missionary Society and Sir James Cantlie started the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese in 1887 (although, the 'for Chinese' was later dropped from the name).〔Ingrams, Harold, ''Hong Kong'' (Her Majesty's Stationery Office, London: 1952), p.213.〕 In addition, the London Missionary Society founded Ying Wa Girls' School in 1900. Belilios Public School was a girls' secondary school founded in 1890 – the first government school in Hong Kong that provided bilingual education in English and Chinese. The push for Chinese education in a British system did not begin until the rise of social awareness of the Chinese community following the 1919 May Fourth Movement and 1934 New Life Movement in China.〔〔 Educating the poor did not become a priority until they accounted for the majority of the population. Financial issues were addressed in the 1970s.〔Eh Net. "(Eh Net )." ''Hong Kong History.''

''HK marchers demand more English'' Retrieved on 3 June 2007.〕 In the 2013/14 school year, there are 569 primary schools, 514 secondary day schools and 61 special schools.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edb.gov.hk/en/edu-system/primary-secondary/primary/overview/index.html )〕 ==Pre-school education== Pre-school education in Hong Kong is not free and fees are payable by pupils' parents. However, parents whose children have the right of abode in Hong Kong can pay for part of their fees with a voucher from the government under the Pre-primary Education Voucher Scheme (PEVS). In 2013, the amount of subsidy under the PEVS is $16,800. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Education in Hong Kong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
