THE 2001-2004 TRIENNIUM LOOKING AHEAD
Like the 1998-2001 triennium, planning
cycle for the 2001-2004 triennium began with the issue of start letters
to the eight UGC-funded institutions.
In finalising the student number and its
mix for individual institutions, the UGC took note of the Government's
commitment to develop Hong Kong into a knowledge-based and technology-driven
economy, and its agreement to increase RPg targets progressively to 4,315
students by the end of the 2001-2004 triennium.
The UGC also took into account the Government's
agreement to slightly increase the TPg targets so that additional TPg
places for teacher education provided in the 1998-2001 triennium could
be accommodated through additional funding. The UGC's advice was conveyed
to the institutions towards the end of 2000.
The approved student number targets expressed
in full-time equivalent (fte) as agreed by the Government for the 2001-2004
triennium are at Figure 2.3.
