Survey on Trilingual Education in Hong Kong Primary Schools

Abstract

This chapter reports on the findings of the survey on how trilingual education was implemented in Hong Kong primary schools. A total of 155 Hong Kong primary schools participated in a questionnaire survey and the demongraphics of these schools and the students is described. The medium of instruction policies of the schools is also described. The findings suggest that the implementation of trilingual education varied significantly from school to school, and the effectiveness of the trilingual education models varied as well.
