After the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration on Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Education Department released a series of instructions which advised increasing or adding classes on China, putonghua (Mandarin Chinese), and the Basic Law (the constitution, drawn up by the PRC, which will, in theory, govern Hong Kong).
在中英簽訂聯合聲明後，香港教育署曾先後發出過一些指引，建議增加認識中國的課程、增設普通話科、香港基本法課程等。
