This series consists of records relating to the development and review of full-time and part-time courses which were offered at the Colleges of Education, the Hong Kong Technical Teachers' College (HKTTC), and the Institute of Language in Education (ILE) between 1975 and 1988. The records include proposed syllabuses, minutes, memoranda, surveys, discussion papers and reports. Most of the records are concerned with the development and review of two full-time initial courses of teacher education which were introduced in 1980 – a new full-time three-year course and a restructured full-time two-year course. The three-year course was offered at the three Colleges of Education from September 1980, whereas the two-year course was first offered at Northcote College of Education from September 1980, then at Sir Robert Black College of Education and Grantham College of Education from September 1983 and September 1984 respectively. The rest of the records look at the curriculum of full-time courses in general, the planning and review of a course on the teaching of Putonghua at the three Colleges of Education, and the development of a part-time in-service course on the use of Chinese for secondary school teachers in teaching specific subjects for the ILE.
