The Hong Kong Institute of Education

Welcome to the Hong Kong Institute of Education!  I am spending the Spring semester here as a Visiting Scholar with the Faculties of Arts and Sciences.  The HKIEd was founded in 1994 when five teacher training schools merged to establish one institution.  The mission of the HKIEd is to train teachers, though the institution seeks to expand it's mission and become a comprehensive university.  The campus is built into the side of a hill in Tai Po, which is located in the New Territories of Hong Kong about an hour by public transportation north of Hong Kong Island. 

As you can see below, the campus is gorgeous.  The campus is self-contained, offers housing for students as well as staff and has a school for the community on the grounds. 




The campus is built in the side of a hill and
surrounded by mountains.  There are two wings
on the campus.  Shown here is the North Wing


Fountain outside the administration
building. The building in the back contains
student dorms and visitor housing.
