Administrative history
The Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd) was founded in 1994 following the enactment of the The Hong Kong Institute of Education Ordinance in March of the same year. It was one of eight subsidised Universities under the University Grants Committee of Hong Kong.
The history of HKIEd can be traced back to 1853. St. Paul’s College introduced the first formalised program of in-service teacher training. On 25 April 1994, under the recommendation made by the Education Commission Report No. 5, HKIEd was formally established by the merger of four colleges and one institute that were governed by the Education Department of Hong Kong Government.
• Northcote College of Education, established in 1939;
• Grantham College of Education, established in 1951;
• Sir Robert Black College of Education, established in 1960;
• Hong Kong Technical Teachers’ College, established in 1974; and
• Institute of Language in Education, established in 1982.
