This is what differentiates a city from its peers. We could understand this as the “DNA” of a city: the values and behaviours that lead people to create the organisations, businesses and communities that make a city what it is. Challenged by both internal and external changes, Hong Kong is currently trying to determine what its future role in China, Asia and the world will be. But overcoming uncertainty about the future will need certainty about who we are and where we are now. By understanding the “DNA” of Hong Kong, we can build a framework to analyse what makes the city unique. The DNA framework proposed herein has four stages: the bases, macro-level structural factors that do not change in the long-term, help to shape the elements of Hong Kong’s DNA, which are the unique attitudes and mindsets held by Hong Kong’s residents. These elements are expressed by Hong Kong people as both positive and negative behaviours, and are manifested as the visible things we see in the city.

Signature: ________________________________________ Date: June 2011 PhD Thesis Title Dividing Classes: Segregation of Ethnic Minorities in Hong Kong Schools by MA-THERESA M. CUNANAN 2011 Abstract This thesis examines some of the issues surrounding the schooling experiences of ethnic minority students who attend mainstream, but segregated, secondary schools in Hong Kong. These ethnic minority students have been labelled by the Education Bureau as “non-Chinese speaking” (NCS) students and the schools they attend have been labelled as “designated schools”. This is a case study which looks into the complex ways in which meritocracy, segregation and social justice work within the Hong Kong education system, affecting higher education opportunities for ethnic minorities. It is commonly accepted that higher education opens doors to more opportunities and higher socio-economic status.
