Community College Students in Hong Kong: Class Inequality in Higher Education: Palgrave Studies on Chinese Education in a Global Perspective

Autor Yi-Lee Wong
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 sep 2022
This book presents a comprehensive account of the educational experiences of community college students in Hong Kong, analyzed through a theoretical lens that intersects sociological theories of inequality, including Bourdieu's concept of cultural capital. The student narratives featured in this book reveal the interweaving personal, academic, and professional considerations and challenges affecting their individual choices in the pursuit of higher education. Chapters also reveal why, despite the relative expansion of educational opportunities, the class gap in higher education persists.
