What
clearly emerges is that demand for teachers is not merely
driven by demographic changes, it is also influenced
by policies and initiatives. For example, in 2004-05,
with the introduction of specialist teaching and the
Early Retirement Scheme among serving primary school
teachers, the demand for new teachers has greatly increased,
with some schools experiencing difficulties in recruiting
qualified teachers.
In the meantime, the Institute is also drawing up plans
to support the lengthening of the undergraduate programme
by one year in preparation for the "3-3-4"
academic structure. The additional year will mean an
extra financial burden for students, many of whom come
from families with relatively modest financial means.
As such, HKIEd hopes to increase the provision of scholarships
as well as new ways to alleviate the financial burden
of students, especially those who are working in schools
as part of their programme. These moves will send the
clear message that teacher education is taken seriously
by the community and that qualified and professional
teachers are highly valued for their contribution to
Hong Kong and its future.

| People are our
most vital asset. The Institute is staffed by
talents with the necessary expertise to ensure
HKIEd's long-term development, in line with its
self-accrediting status. |
