In this article, the authors review the guides published by the Curriculum Development Council in 1992. There are four documents which provide guidance to schools on the curriculum for each formal schooling: Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary, and Sixth Form. Critical comments on each of these documents are given by the authors.

The author reports that the Curriculum Development Institute (CDI) was established in April 1992 as a new Division of the Education Department. It was characterized by its special contractual staffing arrangement which hopefully could produce a desired working culture expected of a professional agency. The CDI was still in its formative stage, and the author believed that the organizational structure of CDI could be further streamlined to develop a greater degree of autonomy and professionalism and that, to succeed, quality and innovation needed to be initiated and owned by every member of the institute.

This article provides a brief overview of the Hong Kong system of higher education and the roles of the government, the Education Commission, the University Grants Committee, and the Hong Kong Council for Academic Accreditation in relation to the planning, development, funding, and quality assurance of higher education in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). It then describes the extent to which transnational education (i.e., non-local education delivered in Hong Kong) plays a role in meeting the demand for higher and continuing education in Hong Kong and recent measures taken by the HKSAR government aimed at assuring the quality of such offshore provision. It concludes with some comments as to how transnational education may be expected to contribute towards meeting the demand for higher and continuing education in Hong Kong in the future.
