History
The School of Creative Arts, Sciences & Technology (SCAST) was one of the four Schools created at the Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd) in 1998, in replacement of the previous academic structure constituting of three Divisions (Division of Early Childhood Education; Division of Primary Education; and Division of Secondary, Technical and Special Education) and four Boards (Board of Educational Studies; Board of Language in Education; Board of Social and Business Education; and Board of Mathematics, Science and Technology).
There were four Departments under SCAST:
- Department of Creative Arts (known as Department of Fine Arts in 1998/1999);
- Department of Information and Applied Technology;
- Department of Mathematics; and
- Department of Physical Education and Sports Science.
HKIEd underwent restructuring in the academic year 2005/2006 and the four Schools and their respective Departments were reorganized into two Faculties.
