The role of Stakeholders in Schools with an Incorporated
Management Committee

The Education Ordinance requires all aided schools to each have an
Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) which shall be principally
responsible for the management of the school. The composition of an

IMC is stipulated to include School Sponsoring Body managers, the
principal, teacher and alumni elected representatives, and
independent managers. Therefore, each stakeholder has a role.

The IMC of a school shall be responsible for:

1. formulating education policies of the school in accordance with the vision and
mission set by the sponsoring body;

2. planning and managing financial and human resources available to the school;
3. accounting to the Permanent Secretary and the sponsoring body for the
performance of the school;
4. ensuring that the mission of the school is carried out;
5. ensuring that the education of the pupils of the school is promoted in a proper
manner; and
6. school planning and self-improvement of the school .
