Education Bureau – The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

The Education Department (Chinese: 教育署 and 教育司署 before 1983) was responsible for education matters in the territory, with the exception of post-secondary and tertiary education. In 2003, the department was abolished and a new bureau, the Education and Manpower Bureau (Chinese: 教育統籌局 abbreviated EMB) was formed. In July 2007, the manpower portfolio was transferred to the new Labour and Welfare Bureau by newly re-elected Chief Executive Donald Tsang. The bureau was formerly housed at the Former French Mission Building. The Education System includes :Kindergarten Education, Primary and Secondary School Education, Special Education, Post-secondary Education, and other Education and Training. Our Vision : We provide quality school education for our students, to develop their potential to the full and to prepare them for the challenges in life. Our Mission : We deliver professional services and ensure effective use of resources. We forge partnerships to promote excellence in school education.
