What is the progress of the academic planning for the 2012-15 triennium? |
|
|
- Institutions have submitted their uncosted Academic Development Proposals (ADPs) in mid- February 2011. The Academic Development Proposals Group (ADPG) <http://www.ugc.edu.hk/eng/ugc/about/committee/adpg.htm>
under the UGC, a disinterested panel comprising overseas academics and local lay Members, has met with the senior management of the institutions to understand fully their plans.
- The ADPs and institutions' clarifications/supplements given at the face-to-face meeting were evaluated against the following four agreed broad criteria:
1. the institution has a strategy which
enables it to deliver high quality and
internationally competitive taught programmes
which are consistent with its role; and
which incorporates, where appropriate,
collaboration with other institutions
and the provision of any relevant self-financing
activities;
2. the institution provides teaching and
learning opportunities which are effective
in enabling students to attest to personal
and intellectual development, match international
standards for the award of degrees, prepare
students for their careers, and meet the
needs of Hong Kong;
3. the institution engages effectively
in advanced scholarship appropriate to
its role, and uses that scholarship to
inform its undergraduate teaching and
future research activity; and
4. the institution has working relationships
with business and the community that are
appropriate to its role, which facilitate
knowledge transfer, and inform its teaching;
and contributes to the transmission and
preservation of cultural values.
- The ADPG's findings on the ADPs, after consideration by the UGC, will soon be conveyed to institutions for incorporation in their student load matrices to be submitted in due course, for informing the UGC's triennial recurrent grant recommendations to be submitted to the Government in the autumn of 2011.
