Extension of deadline for expression of interest in Queen's Hill site
************************************************************

     The Education Bureau today (February 18) announced that the deadline for expression of interest in the development of self-financing tertiary education at the Queen's Hill site (the Site) will be extended to May 31, 2011.

     The Education Bureau in December last year invited expression of interest for the development of self-financing tertiary education at the Site.  A spokesman for the Bureau said "Having considered the encouraging response received so far and institutions' feedback that more time is needed to consider development proposals and prepare responses, the bureau has decided to extend the deadline by two months to May 31, 2011."

     "The expression of interest exercise is open to local and non-local institutions/organisations and other interested parties.  The tertiary institution(s) to be operated at the Site should be non-profit-making and run on a self-financing basis.  We estimate that the Site will provide a gross floor area of more than 100,000 square metres and is suitable for the development of self-financing tertiary institution(s) with boarding facilities.  The Site may provide some 8,000 self-financing places."

     Reply form for the expression of interest can be downloaded from the website of the Information Portal for Accredited Self-financing Post-secondary Programmes (www.ipass.gov.hk/eng/eoi.aspx).  Interested parties may express interest by submitting the reply form by May 31, 2011 to the Further Education Division, Education Bureau, 11/F, Wu Chung House, 213 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.  The reply form can also be submitted by fax to (852) 2899 2967 or by email to sls_lgs_enq@edb.gov.hk.
