Needs Analysis (NA) and Preparation For Principlship Course (PFP) for Aspiring Principals since 2002

In July 2002, the Education Bureau announced that from 2004/05 all newly appointed principals will need to attain the 'Certification for Principalship’ (CFP). The first key components of the CFP are the completion of a personal leadership Needs Analysis (NA) and “Preparation For Principalship Course (PFP)” for Aspiring Principals. The overall aim of the NA is to provide Aspiring Principals with an initial gauge of their strengths and developmental needs so that they can (i) assess their own suitability for the principal role, and (ii) design a meaningful personal professional learning plan geared toward achieving leadership potential. The PFP course comprises six leader learning modules, and training workshops for action plan writing as well as personal professional development portfolio preparation. The Education Bureau of HKSARG has accredited The Education University of Hong Kong to deliver the NA and PFP in Hong Kong.
