From September 1998, the Hong Kong government explicitly requires all primary schools to start teaching Mandarin in Form 1, and secondary schools to start teaching it in Forms 1 and 4; in subsequent years it is to be gradually extended to all forms.
從九八年九月開始，香港政府已經明文要求各小一、中一、中四年級開始開設「普通話」課程，以後逐步增至各年級。
