The subtlety of the phrase, "for the future", in the context of the making of the Sino-British Joint Declaration is obvious. As is well known, Sir Edward Youde committed his mind and heart to tackle the almost impossible task of assisting the negotiations between China and Britain over the future of Hong Kong. But not much has been written about another focus of Sir Edward's leadership in Hong Kong: the preparations directly targeting a better future through the development of education.
The major focus of the present book is to highlight the work which Sir Edward Youde, the 26th Governor of Hong Kong (1982-1986), devoted to the development of education in Hong Kong during his term of office. This book gives an overall picture of the development of primary and secondary education while paying specific attention to three major issues, namely: access to education, Chinese language and English language standards, and the nature of curriculum changes. Moreover, it will discuss how and why technical education underwent significant growth. The heavier portion of the book is to take into account multi-dimensional expansions in the higher education sector, including the quantitative and qualitative growth in institutes of higher learning, old and new. The book also records the outpouring of grief at his premature passing in Beijing in December 1986. It then discusses the lead given by Lady Youde and the Government in establishing an education fund in his memory, followed by a general account of the Fund and its achievements. Finally, the book concludes with a general assessment of his involvement in education in the context of Hong Kong's educational history as a whole, using two key concepts, "education in politics" and "politics in education."

Composed of previously unpublished material, The Diaries of the Maryknoll Sisters in Hong Kong, 1921-1966 is a documentary survey of Hong Kong history. From the perspective of the Maryknoll Sisters, as recorded in their diaries written from the 1920s to the mid-1960s, it is a priceless collection of the first-hand materials on Hong Kong. The readers are tracking these women: every place they went, everyone they met, and so on. This book should attract the attention of anyone interested in cross-cultural relations and foreign adventures. It is of tremendous value to students, teachers, and researchers who are look for primary sources for topics on Asian studies, mission history, and women's history.
