Board of Education for the overall review of the education system:

"Having regard to approved and proposed policies for the

development of education in Hong Kong at all levels, to

identify the future aims of the education system, to

make recommendations on priorities in its further

development.

In particular, advice is sought on the

education and the place of teachers in the educational

system."
