  Hong Kong' senior geography curriculum has included GIS since the early
2000s. However, GIS in secondary schools does not play a significant role in
Hong Kong secondary geography education. Analyzing GIS benefits by literature
review, it is believed that GIS should be included in both the senior and
junior geography curriculum. Moreover, the literature review indicates that
without clear instruction from the Hong Kong Education Bureau (EDB), low
preparedness of Hong Kong geography teachers, and unsupportive attitudes from
academia and textbook publishers, GIS cannot be implemented in secondary
schools of Hong Kong. Therefore, suggestions are made for the EDB, geography
teachers, academia and textbook publishers to facilitate GIS involvement in
senior and junior geography curriculums. The EDB can develop clear guidelines
for teachers, academia and textbook publishers' references, and offer
student-centered GIS educational courses for teachers. It is important for
teachers to be prepared for advanced GIS technology and to even learn along
with students. Academics and textbook publishers can provide free GIS maps
targeted at Hong Kong' junior and senior geography curriculums. Although the
report provides brief information towards the GIS implementation in Hong Kong
geography education, it can inspire new ideas from other scholars to facilitate
the usage of GIS in Hong Kong secondary school geography teaching.
