About the Institute

About the InstituteThe Hong Kong Institute of Education is a self accrediting university-level institution dedicated to the education and training of teachers in Hong Kong. It is funded by the University Grants Committee and provides doctoral, master’s and bachelor’s degrees, postgraduate diploma, higher diploma and a range of in-service programmes to around 8, 200 students.

The historical roots of the Institute can be traced back to 1853 when the first formalized programme of in-service teacher training was introduced in St Paul’s College. With increasing interest in and demand for teacher education from the government and the public, the Northcote College of Education (1939), Grantham College of Education (1951), Sir Robert Black College of Education (1960), the Hong Kong Technical Teachers’ College (1974) and the Institute of Language in Education (1982) were founded respectively to provide formal teacher education in Hong Kong.

In April 1994, pursuant to the recommendation of Education Commission Report No.5 (ECR 5), The Hong Kong Institute of Education was formally established by amalgamating the four Colleges of Education and the Institute of Language in Education. It is mandated to upgrade teacher education and professional development programmes.

The Institute came under the aegis of the University Grants Committee in July 1996. In October 1997, the Institute moved to its new campus in Tai Po. Additional establishments such as the HKIEd HSBC Early Childhood Learning Centre and the HKIEd Jockey Club Primary School were founded on the campus in 2001 and 2002 respectively, to provide support for our student teachers and put innovative research concepts into practices.

In 2004, the Institute began yet another new chapter in its history. Following an Institutional Review, the University Grants Committee concluded that it had “reached the level of maturity and effectiveness at which it is appropriate to transfer accreditation from external agencies

to the institution itself ”. As a result, the Institute was granted self-accrediting status. It now has the authority to approve new programmes and revise existing programmes internally. This upgraded status means that the Institute enjoys greater flexibilities in meeting the demands of the community and responding to changing education policies. The Institute, on the other hand, is also better poised to attract quality students.

In mid-2007, we promulgated a Development Blueprint for the next decade, outlining our aspiration to become a University of Education and to extend our scope of educational and research activities, our footprint and our academic impact within the Asia Pacific region.

In 2009, we published our Strategic Plan 2009-12 and Beyond. Building on our earlier Development Blueprint, this Strategic Plan has reviewed the planning context, embraced the “Education-plus” concept and enhanced the priority areas. It has also drawn reference to the recommendations of the Report of the University Grants Committee’s Review Group on the future development of the Institute. With a clear path to take, the Institute is now embarking on the exciting developments in becoming a full-fledged University of Education.

The theme of the Strategic Plan is “Planning for the Future, Making a Difference”. It reflects our continued commitments in nurturing a new generation of professional trained teachers with the qualities to meet the constantly changing demands of the 21st century, raising the quality of education in schools and the community through our research and development activities and policy advocacy, and making an impact on education development in the Mainland and the Asia Pacific region. We seek to broaden the range of programme offerings at different levels and to enrich the campus learning environment within a multidisciplinary setting that emphasizes whole-person development.

Today, 84% of Hong Kong’s primary school teachers and 30% of secondary school teachers are graduates of HKIEd or its predecessor colleges of education. We are a pioneer in early childhood education and have trained, over the years, some 80% of Hong Kong’s

kindergarten teachers. We emphasize the provision of total learning experience to our students, who in turn will become inspiring teachers to their own students in schools.

ProgrammesThe Institute is the largest teacher education provider in Hong Kong. It offers initial and professional upgrading teacher education programmes in full-time and part-time modes. Initial professional teacher education programmes such as the Bachelor of Education (Honours) Programmes and Higher Diploma in Education Programmes are offered to prepare beginning teachers to teach in kindergarten, primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong. Postgraduate Diploma in Education Programmes are offered for university graduates to become professional teachers. In addition, two non-education degrees namely, Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Language Studies and Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Global and Environmental Studies were offered starting from 2010/11, and Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Creative Arts and Culture will be offered in 2011/12.

The Institute has started to admit research postgraduate students in 2009/10. A wide array of new self-financed taught postgraduate degree programmes, in addition to the doctorate and master degree programmes, are offered for educators and professionals in education settings who aspire to seek professional advancement. To cater for the need of professional development of in-service teachers, the Institute has developed a structured and systematic range of full-time and part-time professional development programmes at pre-primary, primary and secondary levels. In 2010/11, the Institute has offered 24 professional preparation programmes for about 3,400 students and 60 professional development programmes for about 4,800 students.

In line with the global trend in lifelong learning, Associate Degree Programmes, Pre-Associate Degree Foundation Certificate Programmes and Project Yi Jin are also offered by the School of Continuing and Professional Education.

CampusThe Institute moved to the Tai Po campus in October 1997. The purpose-built campus, settled in the lush greenery on a mountain, is divided by a central spine road into upper and lower zones with student hostels and residential buildings at the top and academic facilities beneath them. It also links the Administration Building and the Main Entrance in the south to the Amenities and Sports Complex at the northern end of the campus.

The Main Complex consists of eight blocks of academic buildings which house the academic staff offices and teaching facilities. The Central Facilities Building is located at the centre of the Main complex. It houses the Library, the Computer Centre, a 600-seat lecture theatre, the Learning Commons area, the Students’ Union, a convenience store, student activity rooms and a student canteen. It also has a Central Plaza covered with a canopy which is the hub of the Institute for many institute-wide events and students activities.

The Amenities and Sports Complex at the northern end of the campus consists of a Conference Centre, a chinese restaurant (operation temporarily ceased for re-planning) and sports facilities which include an outdoor swimming pool of Olympic standards, an indoor training pool, a main gymnasium, a practice gymnasium, sport climbing gymnasium, squash courts and sports laboratories. An off-campus sports centre is located at Pak Shek Kok.

For the convenience of part-time students and in-service teachers, classes are also conducted in the Institute’s conveniently located Town Centre in Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon.

Practising theoriesWith generous funds donated by the Hongkong Bank Foundation, the HKIEd HSBC Early Childhood Learning Centre was established in September 2001 to provide holistic and continuous early childhood education through quality programmes and facilities for children from infancy to age six. To complement this, the HKIEd Jockey

Club Primary School, founded with a generous donation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, was opened in September 2002. Both of them are located at the heart of the campus.
