This book highlights the significant contributions of Frederick Stewart, a Scottish official who played a pivotal role in shaping bilingual education in Hong Kong during the British colonial era. Following Hong Kong's establishment as a British colony in 1842, Stewart recognized the importance of promoting English education in the administrative policies of the British government. Over his 27-year tenure, he championed holistic education, resisted pressures, and implemented bilingual courses, laying the foundation for Hong Kong's public school system. Stewart's efforts directly nurtured a generation of intellectuals committed to "Western learning," indirectly influencing China's modernization process. This book provides an overview of Stewart's remarkable achievements in bilingual education.
