Education & Training Awards in Hong Kong

Hong Kong's education sector is unusually layered. Its universities rank with the world's best and spin out research into the Science Park; its international schools — British, American, Canadian, IB, German, French, Singaporean — serve a global workforce and a growing local demand; direct-subsidy and private schools sit beside the public system; the tutorial and enrichment industry is large, branded and competitive; kindergartens and playgroups operate in every estate; self-financing degree colleges and vocational providers train the workforce; and edtech companies founded in the city sell to schools and parents across the Greater Bay Area.

The Asia Best of Best Awards' 75 education and training categories cover all of it at Asia level. Leaders are recognised through the World CEO, Golden Women and Golden Entrepreneur programmes.

What the jury will ask a Hong Kong education provider

What do you teach, to whom, under which registration and accreditation? Education Bureau registration, IB or examination-board authorisation, CEF or QF recognition. Is it growing? Enrolment, completion, employment or revenue over a defined period, indexed if needed. Does it work? Outcomes — examination results, inspection reports, progression, employer feedback — and satisfaction from students, parents or employers. What is new? Curriculum, technology, inclusion, bilingual provision, with dates. Who delivers it? Staff development and retention; for providers that have expanded into the mainland, results by market.
