Insider's Perspectives

Insider's Perspectives

Education policies are influential to the development of our society. Hence, in formulating these policies, officers in the Education Bureau (EDB) often undertake extensive discussion within the bureau and among departments and parties concerned, and engage in active consultation and debate with stakeholders before any policy proposal is implemented.

"Insider's Perspectives" provides a forum where the directorate officers of the EDB contribute their articles from time to time on their experience in formulating and implementing major policies with a view to enabling the public to better understand the rationale behind and challenges taken in bringing forward EDB's policy initiatives. The public is welcome to browse the articles.
