Training


The Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd) was established by statute in April 1994. It was formed by uniting the former Grantham College of Education, Northcote College of Education, Sir Robert Black College of Education, the Hong Kong Technical Teachers' College and the Institute of Language in Education, in response to the recommendation made by the Education Commission in 1992. The Institute came under the aegis of the University Grants Committee in January 1997. It is charged with the mission of improving the quality of teacher education in Hong Kong.


The HKIEd provides full-time and part-time Certificate in Education Programmes and Bachelor of Education (Honours) Programmes on pre-primary, primary and secondary education. Moreover, it offers full-time and part-time training programmes to teachers of pre-primary, primary and secondary schools, institutes of vocational education and special schools to assist them in career development.


Apart from the HKIEd, a number of education institutes in Hong Kong also provide training courses on teaching. Professional development programmes are offered by organisations such as out-centre departments of universities, The Open University of Hong Kong and Advisory Inspectorate Division of the Education Department.
