Committee on Self-financing Post-secondary Education

In order to oversee the strategic development of the sector and to advise the Government, the Committee on Self-financing Post-secondary Education was established on 1 April 2012 in response to the recommendation of the University Grants Committee (UGC)’s Report on Higher Education Review 2010. The Committee serves as a useful platform for discussing macro and strategic issues of common interest to the self-financing post-secondary sector, as well as promoting quality and good practices. To implement the recommendation in the review report of the Task Force on Review of Self-financing Post-secondary Education (dated December 2018), CSPE was revamped with the new composition and functions with effect from November 2019, to provide strategic and policy advice on the development of the self-financing sector, including advice on measures to promote, facilitate and coordinate such development in terms of scope of operation, quality and governance. The CSPE will continue to actively engage stakeholders and offer counsel to the Government on key issues relating to the self-financing post-secondary education sector in a bid to foster its healthy and sustainable development and its ability to serve future community needs.
