Abstract
What do employers expect of education? This article examines the expectations of employers of high school leavers in Hong Kong. It is found that employers expect their employees to have a general knowledge of work and a good working attitude. Some skills like those required to make decisions and to analyse are regarded as important by many, but are only applicable to employees holding major positions. It is good enough for high school leavers to start with basic skills. However, the present curriculum in Hong Kong prepares pupils for academic studies, not equipping them with general skills and knowledge for work.
