HKCAAVQ plays an active role in the local QA community and takes
part in the development and enhancement of the quality of education
provision in Hong Kong. In 2014, we took part in the Federation for
Self-financing Tertiary Education (FSTE) 20th Anniversary Conference
and the Hong Kong/Guangdong Higher Education Co-operation
Seminar to discuss with representatives from higher education
institutions and government officials the way forward on higher
education development. The conferences discussed the challenges
and changes faced by the self-financing post-secondary sector
and enabled us to identify issues of concern in the sector on policy
matters and teaching and learning.
In the vocational education and training (VET) sector, we continued
to maintain close contact with the Industry Training Advisory
Committees (ITACs) through participation in their meetings and
activities. Throughout the year, we met members of various ITACs
to explain our role and approach to accreditation under QF. Not only
did these dialogues and exchanges allow us to keep abreast of the
industries’ developments and demands, but it also provided us with
useful suggestions on the support we could offer for their efforts to
undergo accreditation.
In order to enhance work efficiency and information availability,
HKCAAVQ has initiated a three-phrase IT infrastructure development
project to create a Quality Management System (QMS). With the
support of the Education Bureau through the Quality Enhancement
Support Scheme (QESS), phase one of the IT project has been
completed and the QMS was launched in February 2015. We are
now working on phase two to develop an internet portal for efficient
communication and sharing of documents among HKCAAVQ,
operators and accreditation panels.
