History
The establishment of the four Boards of Studies (1. the Board of Educational Studies, 2. the Board of Language in Education, 3. the Board of Mathematics, Science and Technology, and 4. the Board of Social and Business Studies) was a crucial step in strengthening subject specialisation. Each board was responsible for developing its own subject or discipline, and was entrusted with the important task of overseeing the needs of its affiliated departments. Adopting this infrastructure enabled the twelve academic departments to strengthen their subject expertise and course planning with the support of their respective boards.
The Divisional Board met regularly during the reporting period and developed its own work agenda, focusing particularly on programme coordination, staff development, and the maintenance and monitoring academic and professional standards during the 1994–95 academic year. During the academic year 1995-96, Divisional Board meetings were held once every two months, ensuring staff participation in the deliberation and decision of academic matters.
Dr. Lai Kwok-chan (黎國燦) was the first Head of the Department.
