Administrative history

The Office was established in 1997 as the Office of Planning and Academic Implementation. It was renamed the Office of Strategic and Academic Planning in 2004 and the Strategic Planning Office in 2009. The Office was a central planning unit of the Hong Kong Institute of Education (now renamed The Education University of Hong Kong) and directly overseen by the President. It supported the senior management in the strategic planning and development of the Institute on three functions: (i) supporting strategic development and monitoring, and organisation of strategic events; (ii) conducting contextual and strategic studies and analysis to support institutional planning and informed decision-making; and (iii) coordination of institutional statistical returns to the University Grants Committee. Before October 2009, the Office was also responsible for supporting the formulation of Academic Development Proposals of the Institute. Senior management closed down the Office in July 2012. Dr. Lai Kwok-chan was Head of the Office from its establishment till his retirement in June 2012.
