[5]

Выпускники EdUHK были удостоены около 75% награды генерального директора за выдающиеся достижения в области преподавания с момента его основания в 2003/2004 году. [6]

История и недавние события [ править ]

История Гонконгского педагогического университета (EdUHK) восходит к 1853 году . Колледж Святого Павла представил первую формализованную программу повышения квалификации учителей без отрыва от производства. Об этом было сказано в ее годовом отчете за 1994/95 год. [7] 25 апреля 1994 года в соответствии с рекомендацией, содержащейся в отчете № 5 Комиссии по образованию, Гонконгский институт образования (HKIEd) был официально учрежден путем слияния:

  • Педагогический колледж Норткот , основанный в 1939 году [7] и названный в честь сэра Джеффри Норткота , бывшего губернатора Гонконга . Колледж был на 21 Sassoon - роуд , в настоящее время штаб - квартире Ли Ка Шин медицинский факультет в HKU . [8]
  • Педагогический колледж Грэнтэма , основанный в 1951 г. [7] и названный в честь сэра Александра Грэнтэма , бывшего губернатора Гонконга. Он был расположен по адресу 42 Gascoigne Road .
  • Педагогический колледж сэра Роберта Блэка , основанный в 1960 году и названный в честь сэра Роберта Брауна Блэка , бывшего губернатора Гонконга. [7]
  • Гонконгский педагогический колледж , основанный в 1974 г. [7]
  • Институт языка в образовании , основанный в 1982 году и ранее находившийся под контролем тогдашнего Департамента образования . [7]

Основанный в 1994 году на основе 70-летнего опыта подготовки учителей в бывших педагогических колледжах, HKIEd является единственным учреждением в Гонконге, финансируемым Комитетом по университетским грантам . HKIEd предоставляет докторские, магистерские и бакалаврские степени, дипломы о высшем образовании, сертификаты и ряд программ повышения квалификации примерно для 7000 студентов, обучающихся до начала работы, и работающих учителей.

В октябре 1997 года институт переехал в новый кампус в Тай По, недалеко от промышленной зоны Тай По . Он имеет спортивный центр в Пак Шек Кок , Tai Po, а также кампус Town Center в Tseung Kwan O .

В 2001 году на территории кампуса был открыт Центр дошкольного образования HKIEd HSBC. В следующем году на территории кампуса была основана начальная школа жокейского клуба HKIEd. [9]

С 1 мая 2004 года институт получил статус самоаккредитации в отношении собственных программ подготовки учителей на уровне ученой степени и выше.

В июне 2009 года Институт получил дополнительное ежегодное финансирование в размере 22 миллионов гонконгских долларов от правительства Гонконга для предоставления 120 мест для получения степени бакалавра по трем новым программам бакалавриата и 30 мест в аспирантуре на трехлетний период 2009–2012 гг.

В январе 2010 года Комитет по грантам университетов одобрил планы HKIEd по исследовательским программам аспирантуры и бакалавриата по трем дисциплинам: «Гуманитарные науки» (в основном язык), «Социальные науки» и «Творческое искусство и культура».

Утверждение рассматривается как шаг к тому, чтобы институт получил статус университета, став полноценным образовательным университетом с широким спектром дисциплин и сильным исследовательским потенциалом.

HKIEd запустит свою первую серию необразовательных программ, а именно бакалавр гуманитарных наук в области языковых исследований и бакалавр социальных наук в области глобальных и экологических исследований в сентябре 2010 года. Обе программы уже получили поддержку Группы внешней валидации Гонконга. Совет по аккредитации ученых и профессиональных квалификаций.

Продолжается подготовка к запуску третьей программы «Образование-Плюс» «Бакалавр искусств в области творческих искусств и культуры» в 2011/2012 гг.

В Институте работают четыре исследовательских центра на уровне института [10], которые были созданы для содействия повышению квалификации в междисциплинарных исследованиях.

11 сентября 2015 года комитет по университетским грантам принял заявку Института образования на статус университета, а 26 января 2016 года было утверждено присвоение титула «Образовательный университет Гонконга». Соответственно, Гонконгский институт образования (поправка) будет опубликован 19 февраля 2016 г. и внесен в Законодательный совет 2 марта 2016 г. [11] [4]

В январе 2016 года Институту был присвоен статус самоаккредитации в трех дополнительных программных областях, охватываемых его существующим статусом аккредитации программной области: китаеведение, англоязычие и экологические исследования. [4]

On 27 May 2016, the Institute was formally renamed The Education University of Hong Kong in recognition of its "efforts and contributions over the years".[4]

In September 2020, the Education University of Hong Kong, with the help of the Li Ka Shing Foundation, partnered with Kneron to build Hong Kong's first AI educational system.[12]

Controversy over the proposed HKIEd-CUHK merger[edit]

In January 2007, a public row broke out between the management and the government over the future of the institute. Battle lines were drawn between the Vice-Chancellor Paul Morris and former Secretary for Education and Manpower, Prof. Arthur Li. The dispute had apparently been brewing for some time, as far back as June 2002, when the new Education Secretary Arthur Li was appointed. Apparently, Li favoured a merger of the institute with The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).[14] Morris opposed the merger, and had for some time been campaigning to establish the institute as a university in its own right.[15] Morris maintained he had been warned by the Chairman of the Council, Dr. Thomas Leung Kwok-fai, as far back as June 2006, that his tenure would end unless he agreed to the amalgamation of the institute with the CUHK.[15]

Timeline[edit]

  • 24 June 2002 – Shortly after Li's appointment as Education Secretary, Li had apparently invited Morris to dinner and proposed a merger of the institute with the Chinese University. Li also apparently offered Morris to head the "super education centre".[14]
  • 19 July 2002 – Morris was allegedly told by Simon Ip Sik-on, a former chairman of the institute's council, during a lunch he shared with Li and two other senior institute officials that Li threatened to render the institute unviable if a merger could not be achieved.[14]
  • 14 October 2002 – Fanny Law had met with Arthur Li, Dr. Leung and its former vice chairman Alfred Chan Wing-kin. She issued an "internal email" to staff, stating the institute's wish for an early indication of a possible merger with the education faculty of the CUHK.[16]
  • 25 January 2007 – The governing council of the institute decided in a vote of 10 to 3, with three abstentions, not to renew Vice Chancellor Morris' contract. Leung denied Morris' assertion about the threats to the security of his tenure, instead accusing Morris of misinterpreting him. Leung insisted that there was no connection between the two.[17][18] This led to speculation that the Education and Manpower Bureau (EMB) was trying to force an amalgamation of the institute with the CUHK.[19]
  • 26 January 2007 – Deputy Vice Chancellor Professor Bernard Luk Hung-kay (陸鴻基) alleged on RTHK Radio 1's Openline Openview phone-in program that during the summer of 2003, after results of the Language Proficiency Assessment for Teachers were released, the media reported (falsely) that most of 330 teachers who had failed in the test were from The Hong Kong Institute of Education. Professor Luk accused Law for not having set the record straight[16] and alleged that this publicity resulted in a sharp fall in the number of applications for the next year, though the numbers had since recovered through hard work of the staff.
    Prof Luk also corroborated Vice Chancellor Morris' version of events by revealing a secret breakfast meeting that took place between Dr. Leung and the Vice Chancellor in June 2006.[20]
  • 5 February 2007 – Luk alleged both in his open letter[21] and on RTHK Radio 1's Openline Openview program that Li had made veiled threats both against him and Morris in the past. For their refusal to make a news release denouncing those teachers who exceeded the placement quota for their profession and who were about to lose their current jobs, Arthur Li was quoted by Luk to have said on 26/27 June 2004, "I'll remember this. You will pay." (The quote was said in English).[22] Luk suggests in his letter that the time is up for his "pound of flesh."
    Luk also alleged that during January 2004, Li had phoned Morris to once again urge Morris to take the lead in amalgamating with CUHK. He threatened to reduce future student intake quotas of HKIEd otherwise.[23]
    Luk pointed out that there had been numerous newspaper articles written by IEd staff members in the past few years criticizing the EMB education reform and policies. Luk maintained this resulted in a number of phone calls from a certain high-ranking official in the EMB, demanding the immediate dismissals of those four staff members, which they refused to entertain.[24][25]
  • 6 February 2007 – Staff members Leung Yan-wing (梁恩榮) and Ip Kin-yuen (葉建源) asked Legco to investigate further or set up an open hearing into the allegations. Legco member Cheung Man Kwong told RTHK Radio 1's Openline Openview phone-in program that he along with eight other Democratic camp members had already written to Legco's Education Committee chairman Tsang Yok-sing, urging him to convene an emergency meeting to investigate these allegations of government interference in the running of IEd.[26][27] Students overwhelmingly passed vote of no-confidence in Governing Board Chairman Thomas Leung Kwok-fai: of 680 the voters, only 36 students backed Leung. There were 65 abstentions and eight voided ballot papers.[26]
  • 7 February 2007 – It was announced that Legco's Education Committee would convene on 12 February 2007 to discuss any further action and that it would invite both IEd representatives and Arthur Li himself if necessary.[28]
  • 9 March 2007 – Pro-government legislators blocked an attempt to set up a Legco inquiry to investigate allegations over meddling with the academic freedom and autonomy of educational institutions. The vote failed by 30:21 with one abstention.[29]
  • Chief Executive Donald Tsang set up a commission headed by Justice Woo Kwok-hing.
  • 16 March 2007 – Justice Woo Kwok-hing resigned to avoid potential accusations of lack of impartiality.[30]
  • 22 March 2007 – Commission hearings commenced.
  • 20 June 2007 – The commission dismissed allegations that Li had interfered with the institutional autonomy, but pinned the blame on Fanny Law. Law resigned immediately from her post of Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.[31]
  • 13 March 2009 – the Secretary for Education took out a judicial review application to challenge the Commission's findings in 2007. In recognising that academic freedom is a self-contained right under Articles 34 and 137 of the Basic Law, the Court of First Instance held that the Permanent Secretary's (Mrs Fanny Law) approach did not violate the institute's right to academic freedom as she had not made any direct or indirect threats of sanction. The judicial review was allowed in March 2009.[32]
