(f) Adult education
(i) Formal education
Adult education is intended to
provide suitable part-time general education primarily
for adults and retrieval education for those who have
missed their chance of a formal education early in
life. As recommended in the 1978 White Paper, a
policy of gradual development in adult education
activities is being carried out, to consolidate existing
activities by improving their quality and extending
their scope. It is envisaged that the demand for
formal part-time education will continue in Hong Kong
even with increasing opportunities for full-time
secondary education and such measures as compulsory
education and related labour legislation.
(ii) Non-formal education The Adult Education and
Recreation Centres are intended to promote non-formal
education through various cultural, social and creative
activities, conducted mainly in the evening and
occasionally at weekends or on holidays.
