As in the past years, the education landscape in Hong Kong
continued to evolve in this reporting year. Whilst we could see some
self-financed post-secondary institutions taking mitigating measures
in face of declining student population, we also saw an increasing
number of local institutions applying for accreditation of degree
programmes and seeking Institutional Review and Programme Area
Accreditation (PAA), with a view to ultimately attain private university
status. In the meantime, the call for due recognition of vocational
education has become more and more vocal. Now is perhaps a
good time to review the effort in raising public awareness of the
importance of vocational education in Hong Kong. Amidst the rapid
changes, HKCAAVQ must remain alert and vigilant, and ensure
that its processes are current, relevant and responsive to changing
circumstances and emerging trends.
In 2014/15, we have continued our efforts in achieving our vision and
mission. As before, we continued to deliver high quality services and
strengthened communications with stakeholders. We have brought
our own perspective more sharply in focus through internal strategic
planning and outwardly through an independent external review that
benchmarked our work and services against specific internationally-
recognised norms.
過去一年，香港的教育環境持續變遷。
由於未來適齡學生人數將逐年遞減，自
資專上院校紛紛採取措施應對，包括越
來越多院校申請學士學位課程評審及學
科範圍評審，藉以取得申請成為私立大
學的資格。與此同時，社會對認可職業
訓練的訴求越趨強烈；如何提高大眾對
職業教育與培訓重要性的認知，需要各
界認真思考和討論。面對各種急遽的轉
變，評審局必須時刻保持警覺及積極，
與時並進，確保我們的政策與程序切合
時宜，以回應社會的實際環境需要和發
展趨勢。
在
2014/15
年，評審局持續貫徹履行其
願景及使命，繼續為廣大持份者提供優
質服務，並且和他們保持緊密溝通。年
內，我們透過訂定策略發展計劃，為未
來定立清晰的目標與方向。此外，我們
主動接受獨立外部評審，審核我們的工
作及服務符合國際公認的標準。
