 Given the fast pace of education development in Hong Kong, Mainland China and the Asia-Pacific Region, the Institute continues to adopt a research and development (R&D) philosophy that defines excellence as encompassing scholarship, professionalism, and services (through knowledge transfer) to the community and the teaching profession, not only locally but also internationally. Our new and far-reaching concept of education plus, is also being applied to broaden the scope of research and promote multi-disciplinary research for the development and innovation of education and beyond.
Within this philosophy, we are maintaining the highest standards
of scholarship, teaching and service through the R&D activities
of our academic staff, placing a special focus on educational
development and innovation at the early childhood, primary and
secondary levels, as well as in the ongoing process of lifelong
learning.

The Hong Kong Institute of Education is a publicly-funded tertiary institution dedicated to the advancement of teaching and learning, through a diverse offering of academic and research programmes on teacher education and complementary social sciences and humanities disciplines.
The Institute seeks to provide a “total learning experience” for students so that they can learn in different ways, for different purposes to achieve multiple outcomes. Teaching is about engaging students in their learning and helping them to take responsibility for it. Outcome-based learning (OBL), to which the Institute is committed, is a process that enables teachers to develop meaningful and purposeful learning for students, but it also involves students in constructing and monitoring their own learning. This is 21st century learning: acquiring valued knowledge, skills and values that will enable students to become not only competent professionals but also active and engaged citizens. In this process our students should become lifelong learners.
