Quality Enhancement Support Scheme
(QESS)
In 2014, HKCAAVQ was granted funding under the Education
Bureau’s Quality Enhancement Support Scheme (QESS) to carry
out a project titled “Enhancing quality culture and quality assurance
in post-secondary education: Trends and models from International
and local quality assurance practices” to improve quality assurance
practices and promote a quality culture within the local post-
secondary education sector. The project includes workshops on
international quality assurance perspectives conducted by overseas
experts, a series of forums for sharing of good practices among local
institutions, and development of a public web-based knowledgebase.
During the reporting period, the project has made significant
progress, with two workshops and two forums organised for
HKCAAVQ professional staff and local operators respectively.
Local speakers were invited to share their experience in institutional
governance and programme development at forums held in May and
August 2015. Two workshops on the topics of student assessment
and transnational education were conducted by international experts
from the U.S. and Australia in July and September 2015. During the
workshops, the speakers shared their insights and knowledge on
good practices with regard to the two areas. Both the forums and
workshops facilitated a fruitful exchange of experience and ideas.
The good practices identified during the forums and workshops will
be consolidated and shared on a public web-based knowledgebase,
which is anticipated to be launched in early 2017. The web-
based knowledgebase is set up to provide institutions in the higher
education sector locally or abroad with an accessible repository of
good practices gathered from local institutions and the international
QA community. It will serve as a useful information portal intended to
provide local operators with ideas to further enhance their internal QA
measures as well as information to HKCAAVQ in keeping abreast of
the latest developments in accreditation practices.
