香港自1979年實施九年的免費、強迫教育以來，學校教育革新不斷。從精英教育走向、普及教育，學校服務的對象和性質跟以往的大不相同。過往的精英化和優選性的學生生活模式必須有根本性的改變，方能切合青少年的需要和時代的需求。此文嘗試從青少年學生對學校生活的反思和社會對教育的實際期望，探討學生的求學生活和他們的學校生活與學校教育革新的關係。研究發現學生、家長、老師及學校對學生生活和教育革新的觀感，有別於教育改革的目標和精神；在學校施行的層面上，影響青少年的學習生活和革新的落實和貫徹。

Middle managers play an important role in the development and management of a school in terms of their capability and commitment. This has gained attention in the education field in recent years. In order to support the professional development of middle managers in primary schools, the Department of Educational Policy and Management ofThe Hong Kong Institute of Education started to offer a middle manager leadership programme in 2005. Altogether 264 participants were trained within 2005 and 2006. In addition to the systematic lectures and workshops, participants had to go through action learning which included school observation, role-play and peer sharing. This paper aims to review the effectiveness of the programme, with special interest on action learning. Based on the empirical evidence from the semi-structured interview, participants reflected that they learned better in the experiential in-service training.
