✦ Synopsis

Although Hong Kong and Macau have many cultural, economic and political similarities, their higher education systems display considerable differences. Hong Kong has a well-established system and a strong tradition of government control. Macau's system is smaller and younger, and commenced operation as a private enterprise. However, in some respects recent years have brought convergence in the features of higher education in the two territories. This paper highlights trends in government financial provision, in fee policies and in student loans.
