History
Guided by the Education and Manpower Branch of the Hong Kong Government, a Provisional Governing Council (PGC) was set up in February 1993 to plan and prepare for the establishment of the Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd). Six working groups were set up to examine issues relating to administration, campus development, academic development, staff matters, finance and senior staff search.
With the Hong Kong Institute of Education Ordinance coming into effect on 25 April 1994, the HKIEd was established as an autonomous tertiary institution with the Governor as President and a Governing Council (GC) with statutory powers and duties to act as the executive governing body. At a meeting on 28 September 1995, it was resolved that the term ‘Governing Council’ would be replaced by ‘the Council’ in all documentation.
