About

Welcome to International Schooling: Research and Practice (ISRAP).

This initiative is driven by a  community of teachers and researchers at the Education University of Hong Kong. The project is funded by a Focused Knowledge Transfer Grant from the Faculty of Education and Human Development, The Education University of Hong Kong. Our work is multi-perspectival and interdisciplinary, and we collaborate with international schools in Hong Kong and beyond.
