论吴王太子被杀

吴王太子刘贤被刘启所杀害在文帝四年或五年，他是咎由自取。文帝没有因刘启杀人而更换太子，也没有用儒家的贤人更换太子身边的刑名权谋之人；晁错因为文帝喜爱刑名权谋反而得到了提拔，作了太子家令。可是，杀吴王太子虽然没有动摇刘启的太子地位，却激发了吴王的不满情绪；虽然用晁错为太子家令并不意味着文帝政治的转型，而强硬政策的施行却加快了吴王为首的七国叛乱。     

刻在被扭曲灵魂上的悲剧——吴敬梓《范进中举》与鲁迅《孔乙己》之比较

范进和孔乙己是中国文学史上两个典型形象,他们的遭遇浸透了封建时代大部分知识分子的悲哀,范进的可悲,在于他的精神已被封建科举污染;而孔乙己的可悲,则在于他的性格已在封建教育中变形。从他们的人生遭遇、个人追求以及周围人对他们的态度等方面,都能反映出封建科举制度对知识分子灵魂的毒害。     

Degrees of value: comparing the contextual complexities of UK transnational education in Malaysia and Hong Kong

This paper reveals the complex diversity that underpins ostensibly similar transnational education programmes (TNE), through a comparison of UK TNE in Malaysia and Hong Kong. It draws on data from two different yet cognate studies on the role of UK universities in delivering higher education in Asia. Some fine-grained and informative differences between the ways in which ‘value’ in TNE is constructed in different host contexts is revealed. The paper brings to light the ‘voices’ of TNE students and graduates, which are very seldom heard. The arguments adapt and extend the concepts of education as a positional good, and as cultural capital. For various instrumental, intrinsic and personal reasons the authors discuss in detail, UK TNE is more highly valued in Malaysia than in Hong Kong. The paper makes a wider contribution to knowledge on the changing landscape of international higher education and the impact on social and personal (dis)advantage.     

配对补助金计划:政府、高校、社会在高等教育投资中的新型关系

人力资本理论、公共产品理论、高等教育成本分担与补偿理论以及治理理论构成了高等教育投资的理论依据。在大学教育资助委员会资助的8所院校面临连续7年削减整体补助金的背景下,香港政府连续实施三轮配对补助金计划。政府、高校与社会由此在高等教育投资中构建了新型关系,即对于准公共产品性质的高等教育投资,政府不再一手包办院校财政而是对高校进行分权治理与行政指导、社会资本注入高教领域、高校一反传统"等、靠、要"的角色,在一推一拉形势下积极向社会运作筹款。     

古蜀王蚕丛考辨——蚕丛实为蟾丛

文献记载“蜀先称王者为‘蚕丛”’，但考古发现却证明，与蜀王有关的是“蟾”，而不是“蚕”.巴蜀文字中常见的“手心”文所表达的其实是“蟾丛”，并非“蚕丛”。之所以“蟾“演变为“蚕”，首先是二者的谐音；其次是后世蜀地丝织业的发达；最后则离不开文人的想像和渲染。

Demand for private supplementary tutoring: conceptual considerations, and socio-economic patterns in Hong Kong

Despite the fact that in some parts of the world private supplementary tutoring is a huge industry with far-reaching economic, social and educational implications, the topic has been neglected by educational researchers. This paper focuses on the nature and determinants of demand for private supplementary tutoring. It first draws on literature from a wide range of countries to identify some conceptual considerations, and then presents data on socio-economic patterns of demand for tutoring in Hong Kong. It highlights the complexity of the topic, and calls for further detailed research in multiple settings.     

Later life learning experiences: listening to the voices of Chinese elders in Hong Kong

Abstract

Governments’ anxieties about ageing populations are mostly concerned with the costs of welfare, care and health provision which all have to be paid for by an ever dwindling working population. However, research in later life learning indicates the significant role that lifelong learning can play in promoting mental well-being and resilience, and in assisting with maintaining personal self-confidence and self-coping strategies that prevent cognitive decline in an ageing population. This paper draws on the research with a group of Chinese elders in Hong Kong, who provide information about their experiences and views on learning in later life, including the meaning of learning, barriers to participation, learning interests, needs, motivations, and instructional preferences. Both quantitative and qualitative findings are reported to shed light on later life learning experiences, which contribute to the global understanding of later life learning and serve to inform the development of policy and practice geared to the planning and provision of opportunities to keep learning at the later stages of life.     

国王财政自理原则与英国基本赋税理论——都铎王朝末期突破国王财政自理原则的实证考察

国王财政自理原则是英国基本赋税理论的重要内容.尤其在中世纪晚期和近代早期,它是议会约束国王征税的重要依据.一些学者依据都铎王朝中后期税收方面出现的某些变化,提出此时国王已经突破国王财政自理原则限制的观点.本文则借助大量事实和数据,在定量地分析了这个时期议会税收入和战争支出的基础上,证明都铎国王仍然遵守着国王财政自理原则.     

香港开埠初期中文学塾发展述论

香港开阜初期,教育不发达,中文学塾是主要的教育形式之一,并在此基础上形成香港的官办教育事业。中文学塾来源于香港私塾,后经政府资助改造成为公立教育。其发展经历了自由发展时期(1840—1847年)、政府资助时期(1847—1854年)和官办学校教育制度的确立(1854—1859年)三个历史阶段。通过对中文学塾的改造,使香港教育步入近代化发展轨道。
