Like many Asian societies, Singapore places great emphasis on academic results. But, in catering to children who are less academically inclined Singapore’s Institute of Technical Education (ITE) has drawn the envy of its counterparts elsewhere, including in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, the largest technical education provider is the Vocational Training Council (VTC) and three-quarters of about 30 campuses that it runs are more than 20 years old.
A task force looking at Hong Kong’s vocational education policies is expected to submit its final report by the end of the year.
What do you think? Should Hong Kong give greater emphasis to vocational education and invest in similar new and expanded vocational intuitions?
