What other measures are the UGC taking to enhance the teaching and learning quality of universities and the language proficiency of students?

  • The majority of the block grant allocated by the UGC to universities is for teaching use. Annual provision of Teaching Development Grant and Language Enhancement Grant had been allocated to UGC-funded institutions since 1994 and 1991 respectively to enhance teaching quality and language proficiency of students. These two grants have been combined as the Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant (TDLEG) since the 2016-19 triennium to provide greater flexibility for universities to decide on the best use of the funding. More details of TDLEG can be found at https://www.ugc.edu.hk/eng/ugc/activity/teach_learn/tdleg.html.

  • To honour those who excel in teaching in the UGC sector, the UGC has established the annual UGC Teaching Award. The awardees will become "ambassadors of good teaching" collectively to make a real and sustained impact in promoting teaching excellence in the UGC sector.
