Chairman’s Message
主席序言
My appointment as Chairman of HKCAAVQ coincided with the start
of a new Council term that commenced on 1 October 2015 and the
appointment of seven new members. The new Council term has
been characterised by the introduction of initiatives to strengthen
the governance of the Council, such as measures for succession
planning with the appointment of deputy chairs of our standing
committees and a new meeting schedule introducing three Council
meetings per year starting from October 2016.
Another important initiative was the launch of the HKCAAVQ
Strategic Plan 2015-19 that provides the blueprint for our future
development. It includes five new strategic directions, their principal
objectives and how we intend to achieve these aims. While the ever-
changing education landscape necessitates that we continuously
consider and enhance our practices, this third Strategic Plan of
HKCAAVQ is also the first plan covering a four-year period,
i.e.
two Council terms. We have also included a mid-term review of
the Strategic Plan in between the Council terms to ensure that our
direction stays relevant and reflects the development of the sector
appropriately and effectively.
As one of our key strategic directions is to uphold the integrity of
the Qualifications Framework (QF) and the quality of education
and training in Hong Kong, HKCAAVQ has initiated a review of its
accreditation standards and criteria in 2016. The review is expected
to be completed in the second quarter of 2018. The purpose of the
review is to refine the accreditation standards and criteria, and ensure
the expectations of Hong Kong society are clearly articulated. I look
forward to sharing the developments of the review in next year’s
Annual Report.
To further act upon the directions as set forth in the Strategic Plan,
we have also reviewed other services in the reporting year. For
instance, a Task Group formed by the Council comprising local
and international experts completed a review of the Qualifications
Assessment (QA) service in March 2016. The review concluded that
the current approach to QA is appropriate yet identified a number
of recommendations for improvement that were all approved by the
Council in March 2016. The Secretariat will be implementing these
recommendations in 2016/17 to further enhance QA’s assessment
process and tools.

月
1
日開始擔任評審局
主席時，適逢新一屆大會於同日成立，
並有七位新成員加入。新一屆大會推行
了幾項新措施以提升管治，例如由本屆
開始，評審局大會下設的三個委員會均
增設副主席一職，有助於日後的接任安
排；此外，會員大會會議的次數亦由每
年兩次增加至每年三次。
去年評審局另一項重要工作，是制定
2015
年至
2019
年策略發展計劃，訂定
未來四年的發展藍圖。計劃包括五個新
發展方向，並列明其主要目標及預期達
成這些目標的相關策略。教育環境隨時
日改變，因此我們必須持續檢視自己的
工作、提升服務水平。今年評審局踏入
第三個策略發展計劃，這份計劃會首次
跨越長達四年的兩屆大會會期，在兩屆
會期之間我們會進行一次中期檢討，以
確保我們的發展策略能適切配合本地教
育及培訓界別的發展。
策略發展計劃其中一個重要發展方向，
是要維護香港資歷架構的公信力及本地
教育及培訓的質素，為此評審局於
2016
年展開了評審標準及準則之檢討工作，
預計於
2018
年第二季完成。是次檢討的
主要目的是優化評審標準及準則，務求
能更切實配合香港社會對質素保證工作
的期望。我期待明年在年報內與各位分
享檢討工作的進展。
因應策略發展計劃所訂定的方向，我們
在本報告年內也就其他服務進行檢討。
例如評審局大會邀請本地及海外專家組
成專責小組檢討學歷評估服務，該項檢
討工作已於
2016
年
3
月完成，報告認同
現行的學歷評估方法可行，並提出了一
些改善建議，這些建議於今年
3
月經大
會審議及通過。秘書處將於
2016/17
年
落實該等建議，進一步完善現行的學歷
評估步驟以及建立國家╱地區資料庫。
