Towards the end of September 1993, the Task Group for Curriculum Planning for The Upgrading of the Colleges of Education was set up under the Further Education Division, Education Department. Members of the Task Group were lectures seconded from the Colleges of Education. Mrs Mak Chen Wen-ning was the convener of the Task Group.
