Highlights of the Year 年度剪影 Chairman’s Message 主席序言 Executive Director’s Report 總幹事報告 The Council 評審局 The Secretariat 秘書處 Strategic Plan 策略發展計劃 Operational Review 工作報告 Financial Report 財務報告 Appendix 附錄 When looking back into the past months, what I find most meaningful is that our society has been gradually restoring its normalcy and the economy is getting back on track to the pre-pandemic level. It is undeniable that the global socio-economic environment was hard hit by the pandemic since 2020, but as time goes by and the impacts of the pandemic recedes, our society is now fully geared up again for new challenges and opportunities ahead. During the pandemic, HKCAAVQ made significant efforts to adapt to the rapidly changing situations in order to sustain quality services, and to avoid interruption to HKCAAVQ’s operation. Despite the challenges encountered, HKCAAVQ has always stay focused in becoming a globally-recognised and leading quality assurance body in education and training. While talent shortage has aroused as a global issue, with HKCAAVQ’s statutory role to underpin the quality assurance of all programmes and qualifications under Hong Kong Qualifications Framework (HKQF), we are mindful of playing an active role to support various government initiatives which are relevant to the development of qualifications and education and training in Hong Kong. On local front, HKCAAVQ has continued to work closely with our stakeholders. In November 2022, a press conference was held to draw spotlight to the Council’s work on the Pilot Project on the Development of Applied Degree Programmes (the Pilot Project). HKCAAVQ was commissioned by Education Bureau (EDB) earlier to conduct research and development work on the Pilot Project. Subsequently, the first batch of a total of four programmes under the Pilot Project have been launched in the 2022/23 academic year, covering four disciplines: Nursing, Testing and Certification, Horticulture, Arboriculture and Landscape Management, and Gerontology. In January 2023, a report on the development of applied degree programmes was submitted to EDB, outlining the positioning and characteristic features of applied degree and implementation details. HKCAAVQ was also appointed by EDB to conduct a review on Sub-Degree Education (the Study), which aimed to examine the sub-degree education landscape and utilise the research findings to better differentiate the positioning of Associate Degree (AD) and Higher Diploma (HD). By reviewing similar education systems in other countries and arranging dialogue sessions with local stakeholders, HKCAAVQ submitted a final report and a set of draft of the revised Common Descriptors to EDB. After numerous stakeholder consultation sessions, the revised Common Descriptors had been announced by the EDB. 過去數月，社會逐步復常，經濟逐漸回復疫情前的水平，令我十分 鼓舞。自2020年起，疫情嚴重衝擊全球經濟環境，但隨著疫情放 緩，社會已準備好重新迎接新的挑戰和機遇。在疫情期間，評審局 積極適應瞬息萬變的形勢，將疫情對評審工作的影響減至最低，保 持優秀的服務品質。評審局以成為具國際領導地位的教育及培訓質 素保證機構為目標，秉持理念，克服重重困難。 人才短缺乃當下迫在眉睫的全球議題。作為本港質素保證把關的法 定機構，評審局一直致力保障資歷架構下的課程和資歷質素，同時 積極支援政府各項與本地資歷、教育及培訓發展有關的倡議。 在本地方面，評審局與持份者保持緊密合作。評審局於2022年11 月就「應用學位課程先導計劃」（先導計劃）舉行記者會。教育局早前 委託評審局進行先導計劃的研究及發展工作，首批課程已於2022/23 學年推出，課程內容涵蓋護理、檢測和認證、園藝樹藝及園境管理 以及老年學四個範疇。2023年1月，評審局向教育局提交報告，闡 述應用學位的定位、特色和實施細節。 此外，評審局亦獲教育局委託進行副學位教育檢討的研究，檢視副 學位教育現況，並利用研究結果進一步釐清副學士和高級文憑的定 位。透過參考其他國家相類似的教育制度及與本地持份者交流，評 審局向教育局提交總結報告以及經修訂的《通用指標》初稿。經過多 輪諮詢會後，教育局公布經修訂的《通用指標》。 5 HKCAAVQ Annual Report 2022/23 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE 主席序言
Highlights of the Year 年度剪影 Chairman’s Message 主席序言 Executive Director’s Report 總幹事報告 The Council 評審局 The Secretariat 秘書處 Strategic Plan 策略發展計劃 Operational Review 工作報告 Financial Report 財務報告 Appendix 附錄 Cross-boundary work has also been another highlight of HKCAAVQ’s work during the reporting year. With Greater Bay Area (GBA) as one of the major themes for development recently, HKCAAVQ has participated in various quality assurance-related consultancy projects in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) including rendering assistance in the development of the quality assurance (QA) mechanism and processes in Guangdong. We have also been working closely with the Education and Youth Development Bureau of Macao SAR Government and higher education institutions in Macao in providing quality assurance services in supporting their educational development. In addition, HKCAAVQ has also offered school review services to schools in Mainland China operating Hong Kong secondary school curriculum in facilitating students to take HKDSE examination and the schools to become authorised examination centres. HKCAAVQ has spared relentless effort in attaining international recognitions and expanding its influence at global level. HKCAAVQ being the first quality assurance agency in the Asia-Pacific region and outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and Europe obtaining “substantial compliance” with ESG (2015 version) in the external review conducted by the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) in 2021 has been an encouraging testimony to the leading role of HKCAAVQ in the international QA community and acknowledgement of the contributions and quality excellence of HKCAAVQ. With over 30 years of experience in the quality assurance sector and having developed sophisticated accreditation and assessment mechanisms, HKCAAVQ will strive to look further, reach higher and achieve more. As a key enabler of the city’s quality assurance of qualifications, HKCAAVQ has gone through another fruitful year. In addition to the provision of accreditation, assessment and consultancy services, largescale events, outbound visits and cross-boundary cooperation have once again become possible, allowing more room for HKCAAVQ to carry out its scope of services and create impacts. Looking into the future, HKCAAVQ stays fully committed to support government initiatives in qualifications and education development, recognition and further internationalisation. The existing Qualifications Framework (HKQF) and Qualifications Register (HKQR) will still have a great potential to develop in line with the local, regional and international development. HKCAAVQ will use its best endeavour to continuously upkeep and enhance quality of all qualifications underpinning the HKQF. Hon Rock CHEN Chung-nin, SBS, JP Chairman 在報告年度期間，評審局其中一項工作重心為跨地域合作。隨著大 灣區成為近年發展焦點，評審局參與多個與大灣區質素保證相關 的顧問項目，包括協助廣東省發展質素保證機制及流程。我們亦 與澳門教育及青年發展局及當地高等院校緊密合作，提供質素保證 服務，支援其教育發展。此外，評審局亦為開辦香港中學課程的內 地港人子弟學校進行校本評核，以便利當地學生報考香港中學文憑 試，及協助這些學校成為「與考學校」。 評審局為爭取國際認證並擴大在國際間的影響力不遺餘力。2021 年，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，成為在歐洲高等教育區及歐洲以外首個，及亞太區首個被評為 「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。這確立了評審局在國際質素保證界別 的領導地位，並認可評審局的貢獻及卓越質素，振奮人心。憑藉累 積超過三十年的豐富質素保證經驗，並已建立的完善評審及評估機 制，未來評審局定必更上一層樓，成就機遇。 剛過去的一年，評審局碩果纍纍。作為香港資歷質素保證的關鍵推 動者，除了提供恆常的評審、評估和顧問服務外，在新常態下能重 啟大型活動、境外考察和跨地域合作，亦讓評審局有空間擴展更多 服務範疇，創造更大影響力。眺望未來，評審局將繼續全力支持政 府在資歷和教育發展、認證和進一步國際化方面的政策。我們將努 力不懈做好把關者角色，將現行資歷架構及資歷名冊的發展潛力最 大化，配合本地以至國際間的教育及資歷發展。 陳仲尼議員, SBS, JP 評審局主席 6 HKCAAVQ Annual Report 2022/23 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE 主席序言

Highlights of the Year 年度剪影 Chairman’s Message 主席序言 Executive Director’s Report 總幹事報告 The Council 評審局 The Secretariat 秘書處 Strategic Plan 策略發展計劃 Operational Review 工作報告 Financial Report 財務報告 Appendix 附錄 When I joined the HKCAAVQ family in 2018, I had a dream of visions and missions forming a first Strategic Plan. Amid the challenges in the Hong Kong society during the past few years, thanks to all the concerted efforts of every one at HKCAAVQ and the endless support from our Council and stakeholders, HKCAAVQ successfully sailed through the wind and waves, and opening up new opportunities. In five years’ time, HKCAAVQ is glad to reap what we sowed. Having established a strong financial position, HKCAAVQ is now capable in ensuring long-term sustainable development and quality services, simultaneously rewarding our stakeholders and the community. HKCAAVQ has aspired to be a leading quality assurance body at regional level. We strive to become a globally-recognised quality assurance agency, with a view to enhance the quality of standards and level of the assurance work in Hong Kong and beyond. To date, HKCAAVQ has obtained recognitions from International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) and European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA), which highly affirmed HKCAAVQ’s contributions to the quality assurance for the higher education sector. HKCAAVQ is honoured to be the first quality assurance agency in the Asia Pacific region of receiving dual recognitions. As a globally-recognised quality assurance agency, in addition to quality assurance work, it is essential for HKCAAVQ to build a corporate spirit that involves proactivity and dedication to serve the community. In recent years, HKCAAVQ has taken an active role in providing assistance for institutions and operators, for instance, enhancing facilitation phase to provide operators with necessary support before they submit formal applications for accreditation, and providing operators with observations on programme development and quality enhancement. Besides, HKCAAVQ devotes much effort to maintain our connection with our stakeholders, and to promote the Council’s services via different initiatives. These included a series of operators’ sharing sessions and seminars, “QFQR4U - QR Promotion Campaign 2022”, Specialist Appointment Ceremony and Student Liaison Meetings. By strong engagement in communication platforms with stakeholders, HKCAAVQ strives to excel in providing excellent services and serving the community. HKCAAVQ has also developed strategic partnerships with the government, local institutions and programme operators, as well as collaborative partners in Macau, Greater Bay Area and other countries, as a way to seize every valuable opportunity in driving quality assurance work at local and regional level. 2018年，我帶著願景和使命來到評審局出任總幹事一職，寫下第一 個策略性計劃。過去數年，香港社會環境充滿挑戰，全賴評審局仝 人同心協力，以及大會成員和持分者鼎力支持，評審局得以化危為 機。五年來，評審局在各方面均取得豐碩成果，成功建立堅實穩健 的財政狀況，以確保長遠發展及持續提供優質服務，同時有能力回 饋持分者和社會。 評審局一直銳意成為區內具領導地位的質素保證機構。我們致力將 評審局打造成世界級的質素保證機構，以提升本地以至國際性的質 素保證工作水平及準則。 現時，評審局已先後通過高等教育質素保證國際網絡委員會 （INQAAHE）及歐洲高等教育品質保證協會（ENQA）的認證，對評審 局的高等教育學術質素保證工作予以高度肯定，評審局亦有幸成為 亞太區首間取得雙重認證的質素保證機構。 作為備受國際認可的質素保證機構，除了處理質素保證工作外，亦 必須建構積極進取、用心服務社會的機構精神。近年評審局致力主 動協助院校及營辦者，例如設輔助期，在營辦者提交正式評審申請 前，向他們提供適切的協助；為營辦者開發課程及持續提升課程質 素方面提供專業意見。另外，我們透過不同活動，包括一系列營辦 者分享及研討會、「QFQR4U — 資歷名冊推廣計劃2022」活動、專 家委任典禮及學生聯絡小組會議等，鞏固與持份者的聯繫及推廣評 審局服務。目標是建立有效的溝通平台聆聽持分者意見，以提供卓 越服務及服務社會為依歸，力臻完善。 此外，評審局與特區政府、本地院校及營辦者，以至澳門、大灣區 及境外質素保證機構成為策略性夥伴，把握每個機遇，共同推動本 港及區域性質素保證工作。 8 HKCAAVQ Annual Report 2022/23 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT 總幹事報告
Highlights of the Year 年度剪影 Chairman’s Message 主席序言 Executive Director’s Report 總幹事報告 The Council 評審局 The Secretariat 秘書處 Strategic Plan 策略發展計劃 Operational Review 工作報告 Financial Report 財務報告 Appendix 附錄 The services provided by HKCAAVQ are not confined to accreditation services under the HKQF. With the approval of the Secretary for Education, the scope of work of the Council now also covers local and nonlocal consultancy services. In line with the statutory functions vested with the HKCAAVQ Ordinance, the Council, in recent years, has actively assisted the Government in policy development. As commissioned by the Government, HKCAAVQ took up the responsibility of conducting a series of consultancy and research projects, including study on non-local medical qualifications, review of sub-degree education and study on local veterinary qualifications, as well as collaborating with the Education and Youth Development Bureau of Macao for the quality assurance services of three universities in Macau. Innovation is the key to development. As a gatekeeper of quality assurance, HKCAAVQ is unswervingly committed to refining our services. In order to improve our service quality and further streamline the assessment process, HKCAAVQ has been working actively on planning and implementing the digitalisation roadmap. This has achieved phased results with the establishment of a Digital Credential Hub at the pilot phase. Initial success has also been made in AI, big data and Robotic Automation tests with a view to enhance the productivity of our services and at the same time provide intelligence report to the sectors and the public through annual and thematic reports. Looking into the future, HKCAAVQ will continue to endeavor to become a world-class leading quality assurance agency, and will support Hong Kong in strengthening the internationalisation and regional education hub initiatives. As a humble servant of Christ, I believe everything is grace and glory goes to the Lord!

To inform our stakeholders about the strategic development of HKCAAVQ, we are pleased to share with you the key implementations of Strategic Plan 2019-2023. The Education Bureau (EDB), the Qualifications Framework Secretariat (QFS), and HKCAAVQ have been co-operating with the relevant authorities in the Guangdong Province to foster collaboration between the two places on the development of QF, since the signing of the Letter of Intent on QF Co-operation between EDB of the HKSAR Government and the Ministry of Education of Guangdong Province in 2019. HKCAAVQ has been engaged in providing consultancy service relating to the development of a quality assurance mechanism under the Guangdong’s Qualifications Framework (GDQF), as well as working closely with the Guangdong Academic Credit Bank. While the development work of the GDQF is close to completion, HKCAAVQ will continue to contribute to this meaningful initiative at regional level. In 2022, the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) announced that it would accept qualified mainland schools for Hong Kong Children to participate in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) Examination and be recognised as a “Participating School”. After that, HKCAAVQ has commenced offering School Review Services to those school and the first School Review was successfully completed in October 2022. Another key service of HKCAAVQ is the collaboration with Macao’s higher education sector. In line with our close partnership with the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, HKCAAVQ, with prior approval of the Secretary for Education, has been working closely with higher education institutions in Macao in conducting programme reviews under the revised Higher Education Law of the Macao Special Administrative Region. HKCAAVQ was also invited to provide training for Macao’s institutions on various aspects of quality assurance and enhancement. We will continue to collaborate with the authority and institutions in Macao in rolling out quality assurance and enhancement initiatives. Commissioned by EDB, HKCAAVQ conducted a review on sub-degree education aiming at a better differentiation on the positioning of Associate Degree (AD) and Higher Diploma (HD). The Study also proposed enhancement measures for HD as a pathway for employment at the para-professional level and articulation to study. A final report and a set of proposed revised Common Descriptors were submitted to EDB by HKCAAVQ. After a stakeholder consultation session, the revised Common Descriptors have been approved to take effect. 我們很高興在評審局年報向各持份者公布推行2019-2023年策略發 展計劃的重點概況。 自2019年教育局與廣東省教育廳在簽署《粵港資歷框架合作意向書》 以來，教育局、資歷架構秘書處和評審局一直不遺餘力與廣東省有 關當局共同推動兩地的資歷框架合作。評審局向廣東資歷架構發展 質素保證機制提供顧問服務，亦與廣東終身教育學分銀行緊密合 作。廣東資歷架構發展工作即將完成，評審局將繼續支援相關工作。 香港考試及評核局在2022年宣布，接納合資格的內地港人子弟學校 參與文憑試，成為「與考學校」。評審局同年起為該等學校提供學校 評鑑服務，並在2022年10月順利為第一所申辦學校完成首項學校評 鑑。 評審局工作中重要一環是與澳門高等教育界別合作。評審局不但與 澳門教育及青年發展局關係密切，亦在獲得教育局局長批准後，遵 照澳門特區政府經修訂的高等教育行政法規，為澳門高等教育等院 校進行課程評鑑，並應邀向澳門高等教育院校提供培訓，介紹質素 保證工作及其優化的相關內容。評審局將繼續與澳門當局及高等教 育院校合作，共同推動質素保證及優化工作。 評審獲教育局委任，展開副學位教育檢討，從而進一步區分副學士 學位和高級文憑的定位，同時加強高級文憑作為輔助專業就業和銜 接學習路徑的重要性。評審局向教育局提交了最終報告和《通用指 標》擬議修訂本，經過諮詢各持分者後，修訂後的《通用指標》已獲批 使用。 18 HKCAAVQ Annual Report 2022/23 Highlights of the Year 年度剪影 Chairman’s Message 主席序言 Executive Director’s Report 總幹事報告 The Council 評審局 The Secretariat 秘書處 Strategic Plan 策略發展計劃 Operational Review 工作報告 Financial Report 財務報告 Appendix 附錄 IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIC PLAN 策略發展計劃推行概況
EDB launched the Pilot Project on the Development of Applied Degree Programmes (the Pilot Project) in 2021. HKCAAVQ was commissioned by EDB in working closely with four local institutions selected by EDB to develop the applied degree programmes, including Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) of Caritas Institute of Higher Education, Bachelor of Applied Science with Honours in Integrated Testing, Inspection and Certification of Hong Kong Metropolitan University, Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Horticulture, Arboriculture and Landscape Management of Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong of the Vocational Training Council, and Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Applied Gerontology of Tung Wah College. Upon completion of the quality assurance processes, the above four programmes were successfully launched in the 2022/23 academic year. The second round is scheduled to take place in the second half of 2023. HKCAAVQ was appointed by the HKSAR Government in November 2021 to conduct a study to examine nonlocal medical qualifications against the standards of local medical qualifications for special registration to practise in Hong Kong. As of the end of 2022, 75 non-local medical qualifications, including mainland qualifications, have been recommended by Special Registration Committee established under the Medical Council of Hong Kong (MCHK) for recognition. Substantive progress to the project has been made during the period. Digitalisation is one of the important initiatives of HKCAAVQ. Having channelled substantial resources and efforts, good progresses have been observed along our digitalisation journey. Up till now, we are approaching to the close of finalising pilot stage of the development of the Digital Credential Hub. The initial test on the Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which aims to streamline and enhance our services, is expected to complete very soon. As the next Strategic Plan will take effect from 2024, fruitful results achieved over the years will certainly pave way for a brighter future for HKCAAVQ. 就教育局於2021年開展的「應用學位課程先導計劃」，評審局受當局 委託，與四間被挑選的院校緊密合作發展有關課程。課程包括：明 愛專上學院護理學（榮譽）學士課程、香港都會大學綜合檢測和認證 榮譽應用理學士、職業訓練局香港高等教育科技學院園藝樹藝及園 境管理（榮譽）理學士課程，與及東華學院應用老年學（榮譽）理學士 課程。上述課程通過質量保證程序後，已於2022/23學年推出。第 二輪「應用學位課程先導計劃」將於2023年下半年開展。 評審局於2021年11月受政府委託，以本地醫學資歷的標準，研究 及對比經由特別註冊途徑來港執業的非本地醫學資歷。截至2022年 末，獲香港醫務委員會轄下的特別註冊委員會建議承認之非本地醫 學資歷共有75項，當中涵蓋一些由中國內地院校頒授之醫學資歷。 期內，相關計劃正取得良好進展。 評審局銳意轉型革新，走向數碼化是其中一項重要舉措。透過投放 相當資源和努力，評審局的數碼化轉型進程取得良好進展。至今， 設立數碼證書中心相關的試驗階段已接近尾聲。同時，評審局希望 利用機器人流程自動化使本局服務更流暢及完善，首階段測試預計 快將完成。 評審局下一個策略發展計劃將於2024年展開，歷年來評審局取得的 豐碩成果，將會成為本局未來發展的重要基石。 19 HKCAAVQ Annual Report 2022/23 Highlights of the Year 年度剪影 Chairman’s Message 主席序言 Executive Director’s Report 總幹事報告 The Council 評審局 The Secretariat 秘書處 Strategic Plan 策略發展計劃 Operational Review 工作報告 Financial Report 財務報告 Appendix 附錄
