Appointments to Committee on Self-financing Post-secondary Education
********************************************************************
The Secretary for Education, Dr Choi Yuk-lin, said, "Dr Chan previously served as the Chairman of the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications. He has a deep understanding of the self-financing post-secondary education sector. I believe that, under his capable leadership and with the participation of local and non-local members from the post-secondary education and other professional sectors, the CSPE will continue to discharge its functions to the fullest and proactively support the parallel development of the self-financing and publicly-funded post-secondary education sectors."
Dr Choi also expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the outgoing Chairman, Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung. She said, "Professor Cheung had served as the Chairman of the CSPE since 2017, and concurrently chaired the Task Force on Review of Self-financing Post-secondary Education till 2018. Under his exemplary leadership, the CSPE tendered invaluable advice to the Education Bureau on the quality enhancement, strategic co-ordination and targeted support of the self-financing post-secondary education sector, making significant contributions to facilitating the self-financing sector in addressing the manpower needs of different sectors."
