" The Government's decision
is a testimony to the maturity and sophistication of the quality
of the teaching and learning activities of the HKIEd.
We are delighted with the outcome which recognises the successful
upgrading of the Institute. It should be regarded as an exemplary
accomplishment in view of the short history of the Institute
spanning only ten years.
It is also a reflection of the commitment of the staff and
the success of our graduates in schools.
As a tertiary institution with self-accrediting status, we
will now be able to respond quickly and flexibly to the needs
of the community, and can save resources which would otherwise
be spent on external accreditation.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all colleagues
and students for their commitment and professionalism which
made this result possible.
I would also like to acknowledge and thank both the UGC and
the Government for their ongoing support for the upgrading
of the Institute. |
