Administrative history
Between 1994 and 1998, the Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd) operated a matrix academic structure consisting of ‘programmes’ and ‘departments’, and they ran in parallel with one another to enable inputs from various departments to the same programme. On the ‘programmes’ side of the matrix, there were three Divisions responsible for the operation and monitoring of academic programmes; whereas the ‘departments’ provide the focal point for the development of subject expertise, research and other scholarly activities.
The three Divisions were the Division of Primary Education, the Division of Early Childhood Education (renamed the Division of Pre-primary Education in the 1997/98 academic year), and the Division of Secondary, Technical and Special Education). For the Division of Primary Education, it was responsible for organising initial primary education and further primary education programmes.
In order to match HKIEd’s development to a tertiary level institution, the matrix was replaced by a new academic structure of four Schools and within which the departments and centres were housed, in the 1998/99 academic year.
