本文從四個方面比較了中國內地與香港高校學生事務管理的異同。在管理結構方面，內地、香港分別屬於「遞階型」結構和「單一型」結構，存在明顯的不同；在管理職能方面，相同之處有三，不同之處有二；在管理方法上，內地、香港分別實施「民主集中」式管理和「民主法制」式管理，各有利弊不同；上述三方面又造成了學生事務管理效果的不同。通過以上比較和分析，提出五條改進兩地高校學生事務管理的建議。
The paper compares the similarities and differences between the systems of University Student Affairs Management in mainland China and Hong Kong in four areas. In terms of organizational structures, mainland China adopts a hierarchical structure that distinguishes itself clearly from the more monotype structure in Hong Kong. In terms of administrative functions, there are three similarities and two differences. With the modes of management, the system on the Mainland has characteristic of "democracy combined with centralization? while in Hong Kong there is a form of "democracy plus legal practice," both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. All these differences in turn lead to further differences in Student Affairs Management. Based on the above comparisons and analyses, the paper puts forward five suggestions for improving the University Student Affairs Management systems on the Mainland and in Hong Kong.

作者指出因九七回歸，香港人的國民身份因而得到重新界定，但似乎不少青少年仍覺得自己是香港人多於中國人。作為一個欠缺政治實体的殖民地，港人只有「子民」而無「公民」的身份，教育方面則重視「子民教育」而輕「公民教育」。文章先就教育與政治發展的關係進行分析，並對青年人的社會及參與意識作出描述，從而總結出一些公民教育發展的方向。
As a result of the reunification of Hong Kong with China, the national identity of Hong Kong citizens is needed to be redefined. However, due to more than one hundred and fifty years of colonial rule which foster an "alien subject education" and the culture of "bureaucratic politics" is enhanced. Hong Kong people, as a Chinese are unable to build up a sense of nationalism, though local schools had already conducted "civics" as a separate subject in the 1930s. This subject was revised several times in content until it was renamed to EPA in 1965. However, the syllabus is very much emphasized on the knowledge of Government policy instead of promoting political participation. In fact, the Government has exercised tight control on the syllabus and curricula taught in schools. Until 1985, Education Department proposed the first "Guidelines on Civic Education in Schools" which recommended schools to deliver civic education through hidden curriculum. Effects are subject to queries. Research findings confirm that young people are a group of idealistic observers who have inadequate knowledge and skills to involve in public affairs. However, democratization and de-colonization processes are further speed up, especially during the late transition period, Hong Kong people were able to directly elect their representatives in the three-tier political structure. These mass political campaigns and mobilization could further promote a sense of social consciousness among the younger generation. In fact, political participation is the best form of political education. The author proposes that the focus of civic education should be on both nationalistic and democratice themes. Besides, as participatory-oriented approach should be adopted so that young people could be provided with ample opportunities to participate in the decision

多年以來，香港社會主要透過學校非正規課程來推行性教育。近年，教育當局積極在綜合學科中引入性教育的素材，然而，性教育仍有加強的必要。本文嘗試就教育政策、課程發展、師資培訓等方面提出策略建議，並提出性教育論述必須進步，以回應年青人的需要；期望能突破性教育在香港發展的困境。

It also discusses the importance of improving discourse on sex education in Hong Kong in order to be able to respond to the needs of young people, and hence to move out of the current predicament.

教育是對社會「人力資本」的投資，而且能幫助社會融和。但香港教育經過三十年的發展，教育界仍沉醉於昔日的精英教育，而且中學之間出現嚴重分化及惡性競爭等問題。面對急劇轉變的經濟，教育似乎也無法作出很好的配合。在新形勢下，香港的經濟將朝金融服務業及高科技行業，雙頭並進。教育改革應考慮的方向，是讓學生掌握好「兩文三語」、加強「科普」活動、設法培養學生的創造能力、減輕「應試教育」，以及調整資源去吸納新移民融入社會。同時，教育必須強調社會的融合和個人的承擔，以及變得多元化和富彈性。
Education is an investment in the human capital of society. It also helps social integration. However, many people still yearn for an elitist education system after 30 years of education. Segregation and vicious competition exist among secondary schools. Besides, education is unable to cope with the rapidly changing economy. In this new era, the Hong Kong economy will head towards the development of the financial and services sectors and the high-tech industries. Educational reform should consider the following: to train students to be "bi-literate and tri-lingual"; to popularize scientific activities; to cultivate creativity, to lighten the exam-oriented system; and to adjust resources for the assimilation of the new immigrants. At the same time, we should put an emphasis on the harmony of the society and the responsibilities of the individuals. Education should become diversified and flexible.

公民的積極參與是現代公民發展的基本元素。九七回歸後的香港，公民發展出現新的路向，社會朝向政治整合、經濟朝向知識轉型和全球化的發展。當中，學校的民主公民教育扮演一定的角色。學校公民教育的非正規課程，能夠提供實踐性的公民參與學習。文章透過對學校學生會選舉參與活動的探討，嘗試了解學生公民學習的情況。參與性的公民學習能夠提高學生的民主參與意識和能力。但是，學校的民主公民教育需要進行革新以配合社會的未來發展。
Participatory citizenship is a recent development trend of modern citizenship. Democratic Citizenship Education (DCE) in school has an important part to play in post-1997 Hong Kong society, facing important developments of political integration, of knowledge-based economic restructuring and of globalization. The informal curriculum of school civic education helps provide practice-based learning in citizenship for students through students' association activities, which help raise their democratic awareness and related civic competencies. In addition, the DEC programme needs to be reformed to cope with future changes of the society.

在全球經濟一體化下，持續教育提供了一個提升及保持個人競爭力的出路，在過去十年，很多香港人透過持續教育提升學歷，甚至取得大學學位或以上資格。香港經濟轉向知識型，為配合此結構性的經濟轉型，政府於2001年提出要在10年內將適齡的大專教育參與率提升到60%，預期增長部分主要來自在2000年引入香港的副學士學位課程。各院校已承諾所開辦的副學士學位課程需符合一個通用指標，而政府亦帶頭承認了畢業生就業的資歷，至於私人機構對這新制度則有待逐步接納。
Continuing education provides an avenue to increase and maintain competitiveness of individuals within the context of economic globalization. During the past decade, many people in Hong Kong have substantially raised their education attainment, including at degree level and beyond, through continuing education. The Government proposed to increase the participation rate of post-secondary education of the relevant age group to 60% within the next ten years in response to the structural change of the economy to a knowledge-based one. It is expected the increase will be from the Associate Degree sector, which has been introduced in Hong Kong in 2000. A common set of descriptors for the Associate Degree has been agreed upon and the Government has taken the lead in recognizing its value for employment purposes, while recognition by the private sector it is estimated to be a gradual process.
