Indicators of Quality and Standards of SCOPE:

In the Second Round Teaching and Learning Quality Process Reviews (TLQPRs) conducted by the University Grants Committee in 2003, City University of Hong Kong was commended for its approach to quality assurance and its commitment to the enhancement of teaching and learning. Within this report SCOPE was also commended for “the extent to which it promotes a quality culture, via its own quality assurance system that is located within, and extends, the CityU framework.”

In 2000, the current Director of SCOPE served as the Chairman of a Working Group on Continuing Education of the Education Commission which proposed the setting up of a Qualifications Framework to the Government. As Chairman of the Federation of Continuing Education in Tertiary Institutions, the Director of SCOPE also helped to formulate policy and support measures for the rapid development of self-financing sub-degree programmes and assisted in the formulation of a Common Descriptor for Associate Degree programmes.
