A comparison of Hong Kong students with young people from other locations showed Hong Kong’s secondary school pupils ranked third in the world in terms of awareness of global issues and cultural diversity.
The city students came behind those from Singapore and Canada, but performed better than pupils from Scotland, Taiwan and South Korea, in the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa), which had participants from 27 countries or regions.
The pupils’ knowledge, skills, attitudes and values in terms of various local and global cultural issues – including environment, public health and the economy – as well as interactions across cultures and collective well-being were assessed in the study organised by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) says the SCMP.
