ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book signals that more efforts can be made to explore teachers' perceptions of their national identity and their meanings on National Education. Indeed, what their perceptions of national identities are, how their perceptions on their national identities evolved before and after 1997, what significant events and struggles they experienced, and so on have implications for their meanings and teaching of National Education. National Education debates, after all, began to emerge in Hong Kong's education after 1997. In conclusion, the interviewees have different emphases in their national identity, and they recalled different events impacting their national identity. They also differ in their perceptions of aims, contents and, to a certain extent, teaching methods and evaluation methods of National Education. There is also a call for making reference to how teachers think of their national identity and National Education when designing citizenship education training programmes.
