This article describes the extraordinary expansion of higher education in Hong Kong which took place from around the mid‐1980s to the mid‐1990s. It considers the factors involved in this expansion with some reference to theories of policy development, and speculates on certain aspects of the situation after the 1997 handover to the People's Republic of China.
