Policy, leadership and the school system
What we work on
Message from the Head
Education policy is written in one room and lived in another. Our staff move between the two — reading a consultation paper in the morning, sitting with a senior leadership team in a Kowloon secondary school in the afternoon — and our programmes are built out of that traffic.
If you lead a school, govern one, or are preparing to, this Department exists to be useful to you.

Department news and events
Policy forum debates the future of school self-evaluation
The Department hosted a half-day forum on school self-evaluation, bringing together principals, Education Bureau officers and researchers to ask a blunt question: does the current cycle of self-evaluation and external review actually improve teaching?
Department team advises on principal preparation review
A research team from the Department has been commissioned to review how aspiring principals are prepared for the role, tracking a cohort of 60 middle leaders through certification and into their first year of headship.
