Regulation of education institutions in Hong Kong

Institutions, organisations or establishments which provides any nursery, kindergarten, primary, secondary or post-secondary education or any other educational courses (including institutions offering courses outside the formal curriculum such as tutorial, commercial, language and computer courses) would generally require registration with the Permanent Secretary of Education and would be regulated by the Education Ordinance (Cap. 279 of the Laws of Hong Kong) as well as its subsidiary regulations.

As part of the registration process, often clearance from the Planning Department, the Lands Department, the Fire Services Department, the Buildings Department and the Housing Department must be obtained. Following registration, the school will be issued with a certificate of provisional registration or registration as a school. Thereafter, the Permanent Secretary and any inspector of schools may enter and inspect any school premises at any time to ensure compliance with regulations.

No person may teach in a school unless he is a registered or permitted teacher. Each school must have a registered teacher to be principal who would have authority over teachers and pupils of the school and be responsible for teaching and discipline in the school.

Each school will have either an incorporated management committee or a management committee comprising of managers of the school who would, inter alia, ensure that the school is managed satisfactorily and that the education of pupils is promoted in a proper manner. One of the managers would be a supervisor and who would act as the communication channel with the Permanent Secretary or other public officers.
