In March 2007, members of the Council, management, staff and student representatives held a retreat, uniting to work out strategies that would drive the Hong Kong Institute of Education’s development forward. A major resolution passed at the gathering included the working out of development plans. In line with the Institute’s application for a university title.

After the retreat, senior management set to work immediately, establishing a work group, which took charge to study the future educational needs of the education and wider community in Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and the Asia-Pacific Region; and the impact these needs would have on the role and positioning of the Institute. With the input of staff, students and the entire Institute community, as well as several rounds of workshops, forums and e-communications, plans proposed by the Work Group were eventually fine-tuned and articulated into a document called the Development Blueprint.

This series comprises records relating to the formulation, review and implementation of the HKIEd's Academic Development Proposals (ADPs). The core objective of submitting an ADP was to compete for excellence in resources, optimise the academic landscape and enhance international competitiveness within a stable institutional framework.

The records include proposals, supporting research, correspondence, minutes, statistical analyses and other planning documents relating to academic development. Topics include programme development, academic structures, staffing qualifications, academic strengths, teacher supply and demand, and the HKIEd's distinctive positioning within the higher education sector.

The records document multiple planning cycles and demonstrate the HKIEd's academic development strategies over time.

In February 2009, the University Grants Committee published its Review Report, which recommended one of two options for the Hong Kong Institute of Education to “develop into a multidisciplinary, institution with a focus on education and other complementary disciplines, primarily offering undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes and undertaking research and research training”. The Review Report provided a clear roadmap for the Institute’s development into an education-focused, multidisciplinary institute with strong research capabilities.

In January 2012, the Institute submitted a report entitled Final Preparation for University Title to the Education Bureau of the Government of the HKSAR. The report articulated that the Institute has transformed into a university-level institution providing multidisciplinary programs at all levels and conducting active research.

This file contains the agenda and minutes of the Steering Committee on University Title, which was responsible for adopting strategies for the re‑submission to the Government of the HKSAR and for considering and endorsing the draft Re‑submission Documents for Academic Board consideration and Council approval.

In addition, the file includes multiple draft versions of the Final Preparation for University Title, reflecting revisions made during the drafting process.

The sub-fond also includes records inherited from and created by predecessor offices whose functions were assumed by the SPO following organisational restructuring or administrative changes.

The records reflect the administrative and research activities of SPO in academic manpower planning, academic planning, and strategic development. The records also document SPO's involvement in a number of events significant to the development of the HKIEd.
