Conclusion

As Hong Kong is transforming into a knowledge-based economy, greater expectation is placed on our education system, including the pre-primary education. In the Review of Education System Reform Proposals Consultation Document released in May 2000, the Education Commission proposed to raise the entry qualifications of teachers and management personnel engaged in early childhood education in order to enable children to receive better pre-primary education. Those who wish to join the child care profession should therefore continuously upgrade themselves to meet the higher requirements.
