Abstract:
The author notes that personal and social education is a new area of development in the educational field in Hong Kong. Further, given that much of the literature of personal and social education are Anglo-American or European, one needs to address a question: what is the influence of the largely Chinese settings in Hong Kong? This paper examines some of the debates of what constitutes personal and social education (development). Comparisons are made between Western and Chinese views (especially from Confucianism) on personal and social education.
