The Early Childhood and Elementary Education Division, School of Continuing Education

The School of Continuing Education (SCE) has a vision for the development of professional training courses for local practitioners in basic education.  The Early Childhood and Elementary Education Division (ECEED) is the academic arm of the School to foster the continuing professional development of quality teacher education programmes. The School is the first higher education institute to offer early childhood education programme at the degree level and was commissioned by the government to offer the Bachelor of Education (Honours) Programme to practicing primary teachers in 1994. In view of the expanding need for quality training services in early childhood education, the ECEED made a firm commitment to uplift the professionalism of early childhood educare practitioners.

The Division offers a range of academic programmes on a full-time or part-time basis to provide pre-service and in-service training in basic education studies with qualifications awarded from certificate to postgraduate levels.  All programmes are offered with a core emphasis on the advancement of academic qualifications as well as teaching skills for local early childhood and elementary education practitioners.  With the continuous development of basic education programmes and the increasing number of government-commissioned courses operated in recent years, the ECEED has further affirmed its leading role and expertise in the provision and enhancement of early childhood and elementary education training in the community.

The Programme

Along with the implementation of the new “334” academic system, the 2-year full-time Higher Diploma in Early Childhood Education and the 2-year full-time Bachelor of Education (Honours) in Early Childhood Education aim to develop the professional knowledge and skills of secondary leavers who are interested to develop their careers in early childhood education and childcare services.

To align with the government’s initiative in upgrading the academic qualification of early childhood educare practitioners, graduates of the Programmes will be trained to become self-reliant early childhood professionals equipped with in-depth knowledge, lifelong learning skills, and commitment to their profession, with the ability to facilitate learning in a constantly changing world and to promote high quality and innovative education and care for young children in the local early childhood education settings.
