"Thirdly, we note that the creation of the QAU will have implications for the work of the Advisory Inspectorate. We see a continuing need for the Inspectorate to conduct compliance inspections, provide advice and support to schools, and feed information back to the Director of Education and the QAU. But we envisage that advisory functions will become a more important part of the Inspectorate's role once the new strategy is in place," Dr Cheng said.

"Previous reports on education have generally focused on what the Government should do, or how much money should be spent. This report is different: it sets out a framework which will encourage and help educators themselves to fulfil their professional responsibilities more effectively.
"I hope all teachers, principals, school managers and those working in school support services will discuss the report and give us their comments before March 15 next year, when the consultation period ends. Comments from the general public will also be welcomed."
