十年来，香港一直试图发展成为区域教育中心。然而，这项政策受到批评，因为香港既没有在种族和文化上使学生人口多样化，也没有扩大其在全球高等教育市场的份额。本文旨在探讨教育枢纽概念对香港高等教育发展的重要性。本文在分析教育枢纽概念的基础上，提出建设教育枢纽需要明确的目标。文章认为，对高等教育国际化的工具主义解读，不足以理解教育枢纽理念对城市高等教育发展的重要性。在这方面采取理想化和教育化的做法，是香港作为教育枢纽的前景的一个相关理念。
Hong Kong has tried to develop itself as a regional education hub for a decade. However, the policy is being criticized because Hong Kong has neither diversified its student population ethnically and culturally nor expanded its share in the global higher education market. This paper explores this context to examine the significance of the education hub concept in the development of higher education in Hong Kong. Based on an analysis of the concept of education hub the paper argues that the purposes of building an education hub need to be defined. It also argues that an instrumentalist interpretation of internationalization of higher education is not enough to understand the importance of the education hub notion to the higher education development in the city. An idealistic and educational approach in this respect is a relevant idea for the prospect of Hong Kong as an education hub.
