CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE 主席序言 Hon Rock CHEN Chung-nin, SBS, JP 陳仲尼議員, SBS, JP Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications 香港學術及職業資歷評審局 8
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, HKCAAVQ has adapted a series of contingency plans to cope with the pandemic. We brought our face-to-face accreditation visits online, and such adaptation has been operating smoothly so far. While we are still facing the everchanging situations under the pandemic, HKCAAVQ stays fully prepared for the resumption to normal operation and continues to strive to be a globally-recognised and leading quality assurance body in education and training. It has been a fruitful year for HKCAAVQ in areas of international accreditations and in the development of accreditation services within the Greater Bay Area. These achievements would not be possible without the dedication and contribution of our colleagues, as well as the support and contribution from the Education Bureau and stakeholders from different sectors. During the reporting period, HKCAAVQ has officially undergone an external review conducted by the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA), with the overwhelming result of HKCAAVQ being the first quality assurance agency in the Asia-Pacific region and outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and Europe to have obtained “substantial compliance” in meeting the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance (ESG 2015 version). This global recognition represents a milestone in HKCAAVQ’s commitment to quality assurance since its establishment for over 30 years. The achievement also demonstrates our exceptional work in meeting with international standards as a leading quality assurance agency. ENQA commended HKCAAVQ’s work and contribution, including a) “HKCAAVQ has initiated an enhancement oriented development over the past years to establish and develop its role not only as a gatekeeper of the Qualifications Register but also as a partner in supporting the quality enhancement of self-financing higher education institutions.”, and; b) “The panel commends HKCAAVQ on the clearly defined criteria for design and approval of programmes in relation to the HKQF, which operators highly appreciate.”; While we are encouraged by the results achieved so far, HKCAAVQ stays modest and remains determined to strive for further improvement by reviewing and taking immediate follow up actions regarding the panel suggestions listed in the external review. 新冠病毒病近年肆虐全球。香港學術及職業資歷評審局自2020年 起，就應對疫情採取應對方案，將以往的實體考察變成可全在線評 審，至今運作暢順。踏入2021/22年，儘管疫情狀況仍然千變萬化， 但評審局力臻卓越，在全面復常前已作好準備，致力成為世界級一 流評審機構的決心堅定不移。 回顧過去一年多，本人擔任大會主席期間，評審局在國際評審的舞 台上及大灣區評審服務的發展收獲頗豐。在此，我由衷感謝所有評 審局同仁悉心竭力服務本局，貢獻良多，並有賴教育局及所有持份 者的鼎力參與及支持，我們才能取得豐碩成果。 報告期內，評審局正式通過歐洲高等教育品質保證協會（ENQA）的 外部評估。更令人鼓舞的是，評審局乃歐洲高等教育區及歐洲以 外，首個被評為「大致符合」歐洲高等教育區質素保證標準和準則 （ESG）（2015年版本）各項要求的質素保證機構。這項國際性認證標 示著評審局已達至國際一流質素保證機構的水平，並正走向全新階 段；這亦是評審局成立超過三十年以來的重要標竿。 ENQA在外評報告中多次讚揚及肯定評審局的工作，包括： （一） 「評審局不單發揮作為資歷名冊當局為質素把關的角色，亦以 持續質素提升為導向，年前已開始建立和發展作為自資高等教 育機構在質素提升方面的友好伙伴角色。」； （二） 「評審小組讚揚評審局就香港資歷架構標準為學習課程的設計 和審批訂定清晰明確準則，這點亦備受各營辦者高度讚賞。」； 取得佳績固然可喜，但評審局絕不固步自封。我們已檢視報告中的 建議事項，積極跟進及定下提升方案，至臻至善。 Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications 香港學術及職業資歷評審局 9 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE 主席序言
Besides gaining international recognition, HKCAAVQ has been doing its best to further expand its scope of consultancy services to the Greater Bay Area (GBA), as a way to contribute to Mainland China’s qualifications development and nurturing of talents. We have been cooperating with the Education Department of Guangdong Province and the Open University of Guangdong and credit bank on consultation of the establishment of quality assurance mechanism, including the Qualifications Register in the Guangdong Province, so as to support the development of the Guangdong Province’s Lifelong Education Qualifications Framework and pilot study on mutual recognition of the two qualifications frameworks. This development not only cultivates the economic cooperation and partnership between Hong Kong and Guangdong Province, but also further facilitates mobility in the GBA. In support of the thorough implementation of “Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong KongMacao Greater Bay Area” and the development of the education and training sectors in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), with the prior approval of the Secretary for Education, HKCAAVQ has been conducting accreditation with programme operators with operations in Mainland China. In November 2021, the first batch of jointly operated courses by Hong Kong and Mainland operators in the Greater Bay Area have passed the Initial Evaluation (IE) and Learning Programme Accreditation (LPA) in Hong Kong. The courses, jointly operated by Shenzhen Institute of Vocational Technology and Hong Kong Vocational Training Council, are five Higher Diploma programmes covering the areas of building services engineering, games and animation, fashion design and hotel and catering management. Both parties hope to strengthen the cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong in vocational education, so as to foster collaboration, innovation and sharing of resources of vocational education in the Greater Bay Area. HKCAAVQ is pleased to take part in the development of vocational education in Hong Kong and Shenzhen and to explore the opportunities and milestones of cross-border cooperation. Looking forward, HKCAAVQ hopes to build on its international strengths and establish its own cooperation ties, so as to provide the ground for professional accreditation services for higher educational institutions in the Greater Bay Area. In addition, we also hope to develop accreditation and quality assurance services for vocational and professional education and training at the GBA to help supporting Guangdong province as the “leader” in implementing national education policies, and to dovetail and synergize with the current development of local tertiary institutions in the Greater Bay Area. 奮力取得國際認可外，評審局一直竭盡所能開拓大灣區顧問服務， 為國家的資歷發展及人才培育悉力貢獻。我們為廣東省教育廳轄下 的廣東開放大學和學分銀行提供顧問服務，協助其建立相關質素保 證機制、法律法規及資歷名冊等。此舉有利於廣東終身教育資歷框 架建設工作，提升香港的資歷和標準與廣東省的資歷和標準的互相 了解，以協助兩個資歷框架對接的初步研究，同時促進香港和廣東 省加強經濟合作與夥伴關係，進一步促進大灣區的勞動力流動。 為貫徹落實 《粵港澳大灣區發展規劃綱要》，支持大灣區教育和培訓 領域的發展，在教育局局長批准下，評審局亦已積極開展本地與內 地課程營辦者合作課程的評審工作。 2021年11月，首批由本港與內地聯頒、經香港資歷認證的大灣區 資歷課程已通過初步評估及課程評審。有關課程由深圳職業技術學 院與香港職業訓練局合辦，五個高級文憑課程分別涵蓋屋宇裝備工 程、遊戲及動畫、時裝設計和酒店及餐飲業管理。雙方期望能加強 深港職業教育合作，以達至大灣區職業教育資源共享、協同創新。 評審局欣喜能協助深港兩地的職專教育發展，共同開拓跨境合作的 機遇和里程碑。 展望將來，評審局期望能建基於擁有國際優勢的基礎上，透過在大 灣區建立合作網絡，積極支持大灣區政策及發展，為大灣區院校提 供專業服務。此外，我們亦希望於大灣區開展職專及高等教育的認 證服務，協助廣東省成為國家教育政策中的「領頭羊」，銜接現時本 港大專院校於大灣區發展，帶來協同效應。 Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications 香港學術及職業資歷評審局 10 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE 主席序言

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT 總幹事報告 Mr Albert H P CHOW 周慶邦先生 Executive Director 總幹事 12 Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications 香港學術及職業資歷評審局
Over the past few years, HKCAAVQ has been committed to further assisting in the development of quality assurance under the local Qualifications Framework (QF). Apart from providing regular accreditation and assessment services, we have also been active in providing research and consultancy services to various government departments and organisations to support a wide range of social policy and qualifications development work. HKCAAVQ is committed to establish itself as a globally-recognised leading QA agency. Over the past year, we have been zealously engaged in international exchanges and overseas connections, renewing and signing MoU with partners such as Japan, New Zealand and Malaysia to strengthen collaboration and information sharing. Meanwhile, we also focused on the development of local quality assurance work, actively researching and assisting in all aspects of accreditation services, and moving forward with our stakeholders. On the local higher education front, HKCAAVQ is actively involved in the review of local Sub-degree Programmes, including the course development and progression pathways for graduates. Since 2021, HKCAAVQ has been conducting a consultancy review regarding the Sub-degree Programmes for the Education Bureau (EDB). The review report was successfully completed and submitted to EDB within the reporting period. The report has been carefully considered and public consultation is underway. Education and talent training are the cornerstones underpinning Hong Kong’s sustainable development. HKCAAVQ has always spared no effort in promoting the cultivation of diverse talents. As the first step, we acted as a consultant to EDB in conducting research and assisting in the implementation of the Pilot Project on the Development of Applied Degree Programmes for the promotion of local vocational and professional education. We have assisted the authority to initiate the works on the four designated institutions and programmes, assessed the impact of the scheme on the existing academic structure when fully implemented, and examined the articulation amongst relevant qualifications. HKCAAVQ has also made recommendations to EDB on the necessary support measures for the future regularisation of the Applied Degrees and has received positive feedback from the Bureau. We hope that the Applied Degree programmes will provide students with more diversified study and career opportunities, and fill the gap in local manpower demand, so as to support the continuing development of various industries. 過去幾年，評審局致力在資歷架構的職能下，進一步協助發展本地 資歷架構下的質素保證工作。除了提供恆常的評審及評核服務之 外，我們亦積極為不同政府部門及組織提供研究及顧問服務，支援 多方面的社會政策及資歷發展工作。 評審局一直致力成為全球公認、具領先地位的質素保證機構。去 年，評審局積極開展國際交流及拓展海外連繫，期間與日本、紐西 蘭及馬來西亞等地續簽或簽訂合作備忘錄，以鞏固多方合作及訊息 互通。同時，我們亦專注本地質素保證工作的發展，積極研究及協 助各方面的資歷認證服務，與持分者一同邁步向前。 本地高等教育方面，評審局積極參與本地副學位課程的檢討工作， 包括課程的發展路向及畢業生的進修路徑等。評審局自去年起，為 教育局就本地副學位課程進行檢討顧問工作。這項工作順利於報告 期內完成整個檢討報告並呈交予教育局。局方已仔細考慮檢討報 告，並正進行公眾諮詢工作。 教育和人才培訓乃支撐本港持續發展的重要基石。評審局一向不遺 餘力，推動培育多元人才。首先，評審局以顧問身份，為教育局用 以推廣本地職業專才教育的「應用課程先導計劃」提供研究和協助落 實先導計劃。我們協助當局就四間指定院校及課程展開相關工作， 評估計劃在全面執行時對現行學制的影響，以及研究相關資歷認證 的銜接事項，在加倍努力下，相關的質素保證工作已順利完成，四 個應用課程將以先導形式於2022/23學年推出。評審局亦就日後應 用學位常規化所需的配套及支援措施向當局提出建議，獲得局方積 極回應。我們期望應用學位課程能為莘莘學子提供更多元化的升學 選擇及就業出路，填補本地人力資源需求缺口，以支援各行各業繼 續蓬勃發展。 Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications 香港學術及職業資歷評審局 13 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT總幹事報告
HKCAAVQ has also contributed to the development of qualifications in other areas. To further refine the accreditation framework and criteria for local veterinary qualifications, we have completed a consultancy study commissioned by the Veterinary Surgeons Board of Hong Kong during the reporting period. The report provides a detailed study and explanation for the veterinary accreditation systems, frameworks and standards amongst the United Kingdom, USA and Australia, and advises on the future assessment of local veterinary programmes. The Board has accepted the report and highly commended the work of HKCAAVQ. In view of the acute shortage of local healthcare personnel in recent years, the Department of Health has commissioned HKCAAVQ to conduct a study and assessment on the accreditation of non-local medical qualifications in Hong Kong. As a consultant agency, we have provided professional data analysis and expert assessment services to the Special Registration Committee to provide a strong basis for members to consider non-local medical degrees and their accreditation requirements under local legislation. In the future, HKCAAVQ will continue to strive to provide comprehensive consulting support and expert services for different professions on this basis. Promoting the development of qualifications in Hong Kong is a vital part of HKCAAVQ’s work. In response to the changes in the global labour market and changing learning patterns, a new learning model namely “Micro-credential” has emerged in recent years. To enhance the competitiveness of local talents, HKCAAVQ is enthusiastically conducting a study and drafting a preliminary proposal for the blueprint for the development of micro-credential in Hong Kong. This research is a milestone in QF and will have a profound impact on the learning patterns of the next generation. The development of micro-credential will provide development opportunities to the articulation of qualifications and reduce the social cost of learning duplication by achieving the articulation between academic, professional, vocational and recognition of prior learning qualifications, and enabling employers, employees and learners to have a more flexible and efficient use on QF. 評審局亦在其他範疇的資歷發展作出貢獻。為進一步完善本地獸醫 資歷的認證框架和準則，評審局於報告期內完成獸醫管理局委託之 顧問研究報告。報告為當局就英國、美國以及澳洲等地的獸醫認證 制度、架構及標準等，提供詳細的研究及闡釋，為日後評核本地獸 醫課程時需處理的相關工作提出建議。獸醫管理局已接納該研究報 告，並高度讚揚評審局的工作。 面對近年本地醫護人員人手嚴重不足的狀況，衛生署委託評審局就 非本地醫學資歷在本地的認證作出研究及評估。作為顧問機構，我 們向特別註冊委員會提供專業資料分析及專家評估服務，以供委員 考慮非本地醫學學位及其在本港法例下的資歷認證要求提供強而有 力的基礎。日後，評審局定當在此基礎上繼續竭力為不同專業提供 全面的顧問支援及專家服務。 最後，推動香港資歷發展乃評審局工作中極其重要的一環。因應環 球勞動市場的變化和學習模式改變的趨勢，近年出現名為「微學分 （Micro-credential）」的學習模式。為提升本地人才競爭力，評審局 正積極開展研究微學分工作，草擬本港微學分發展藍圖的初步建議 書。微學分的研究工作乃資歷架構下一個里程碑，足以影響下一代 的學習模式，對社會影響深遠。微學分的發展能達到學術、專業、 職業以及過往資歷認可之間的互通，讓僱主、僱員以及學習者能夠 更靈活有效地運用資歷架構，使之發揮最大的功能，為資歷架構下 的資歷銜接提供新台階及發展契機，並減少重複學習的社會成本。 Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications 香港學術及職業資歷評審局 14 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT總幹事報告
Looking forward, we hope to promote HKCAAVQ’s various services and providing the public with a better understanding of the Council’s multi-faceted functions. We will continue to work with all sectors of the community to innovate and change, and at the same time act as a gate-keeper of quality assurance and jointly achieve the diversity of local qualifications development. Mr Albert H P Chow Executive Director 未來，我們期望積極推廣評審局的不同服務，並讓大眾更深入了解 評審局多方面的職能，與社會各界攜手努力，不斷創新求變，為本 地質素保證工作把關，共同成就本地的多元化資歷發展。 周慶邦先生 總幹事 Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications 香港學術及職業資歷評審局 15 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT總幹事報告

Accredited programmes are listed in the QR, a publicly available website that lists all of the quality assured programmes and qualifications in Hong Kong, including those offered by the self-accrediting, publiclyfunded universities. Summary reports or full reports of accreditation outcomes are published on the HKCAAVQ website to help learners make an informed decision on their studies. Major Developments Robotic Process Automation project HKCAAVQ has devised plans to enhance our services by embracing new technologies through a number of digital initiatives. We are exploring the feasibility of employing the latest technology to establish a secure and robust electronic platform for storing and accessing authenticated credentials of graduates of programmes accredited by HKCAAVQ. We are looking into ways to further improve our internal quality management system (QMS) by incorporating appropriate computational techniques to optimise our processes, and adopting automation and intelligent tools to enhance the efficiency of the workflow and the quality of decision making.
