内容提要：Annually about 5,000 newly-arrived children are first admitted to primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong. Educational pathways and the politics of belonging are the two key issues relating to the future development and integration of these young immigrants. This seminar discusses these two key issues by drawing on an ethnographic research project on teenage children of the two largest incoming groups to Hong Kong: from Mainland China and from South Asia (predominantly India, Pakistan, and Nepal). These two distinct cultural groups, with the Chinese group sharing cultural similarities with Hong Kong locals and the South Asian group being fundamentally different, provide insightful comparisons. The focus is on these young people’s experiences of success and failure, as well as experiences of inclusion and exclusion, with an aim of identifying some critical turning points along their academic trajectories – turning points that may facilitate or impede their academic attainment. How these migrant students fare in the education system of Hong Kong informs the local educational landscape as well as the global movement of young migrants from one education system to another.
