跨境學童對香港基礎教育帶來的挑戰

跨境教育在全球化的情境中愈來愈吸引學者的研究興趣，香港的跨境學童教育是全球跨 境教育的一個獨特案例；目前，香港已有過萬名學童乘車從內地跨境上學，隨著父母雙方均非香港永久居民而在港出生的嬰兒數量急增，預估將會增至每天有數萬名跨境學童。本文的重點是討論和分析跨境學童對香港基礎教育的影響，並就跨境學童的政策、教學和社區教育作出建議。
Cross-boundary education in the context of globalisation has attracted increasing research interest from scholars. Cross-boundary education in Hong Kong is a unique case of global cross-boundary education. More than 10,000 children journey across the boundary from Mainland China to go to study in Hong Kong every school day. Since babies born in Hong Kong to parents from Mainland China have the right of abode in Hong Kong, many parents who are both not permanent residents of Hong Kong choose to give birth in Hong Kong. The number of births of this kind has increased drastically in recent years. It is estimated that the number of cross-boundary students will multiply in the coming years. This article discusses and analyses the impact of cross-boundary students on basic education in Hong Kong. Recommendations on the policy, teaching, and community education of cross-boundary students are made. Copyright © 2012 香港青年協會.
