| Abstract | Hong Kong students' poor mastery of English is forcing universities at home and overseas to spend a large proportion of their funds on language classes for students who might otherwise find it difficult to follow lectures. Academics say, the fault lies with an education system that veers inconsistently between English and Cantonese as the medium of teaching, leaving pupils deficient in both. |
