The series consists of minutes and/or discussion papers of the intra-college committees, study units and working groups of Northcote College of Education.

The college committees, study units and working groups were created to advise the Principal on the organisation and content of college courses and activities, on future planning and inter-college cooperation and on domestic matters within Northcote College of Education. Some of these committees were standing while others were set up as the need arises. In some of the committees, students were also represented.

The series comprises of records relating to the administration of Northcote College of Education ("NCE") between 1982 and 1990. The subjects covered include the Northcote College of Education Students' Union, the implementation of a management information and control system, and the classification and descriptions of all job positions in NCE.

The administration of NCE includes financial and store matters, maintenance of College premises, office management, personnel matters, academic matters, and the monitoring of student affairs. Apart from maintaining regular communication with its own College staff and students, the records show that NCE also made extensive contact and cooperation with the other two Colleges of Education, the Hong Kong Technical Teachers' College, and the Education Department on matters related to College administration.

This series consists of records generated, received or accumulated by the research and administrative activities of the Office, which mainly document HKIEd’s strategic development planning, working progress on University title, HKIEd academic development, UGC visits and the organisation of strategic events such as senior management retreat and roundtables of presidents of universities of education.

This series consists of project proposals, design layout plans, meeting notes, correspondence, cost estimates, budget plans, questionnaires and application forms for a variety of matters, relating to the preliminary activities undertaken by the Proposed Community Creative Arts Complex Project Planning Committee in order to obtain funding from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust for the proposed Community Creative Arts Complex Project ("CCA Complex Project").

The CCA Complex Project proposed to synergize the educational and artistic expertise of the Hong Kong Institute of Education ("HKIEd") with local arts organisations to enhance the cultural well-being of the north-east district of the New Territories. The ultimate goal of the CCA Complex Project, as the Project title suggests, was to lead to the construction of a Community Creative Arts Complex within HKIEd's Tai Po campus. However, the CCA Complex Project fell through and the construction was unable to come true.
