The Quality Education Fund (QEF) is established to fund worthwhile initiatives on a pilot basis and one-off projects that are non-profit-making, aiming to raise the quality of school education, and to promote quality school education at all levels, i.e. kindergarten, primary, secondary and special education.

​

Vision of the QEF
The QEF encourages projects that support innovation and/or new development, enrichment of students’ learning experiences, and school-based initiatives that would suit the specific needs of students, teachers and contexts of individual schools as well as the school sector in accordance with education policies. The funded QEF projects are expected to promote quality teaching and learning in the above context with a view to enabling students to attain all-round development and develop positive values and attitudes as well as enhancing the professional capacity of schools and teachers.

With the experiences in education in Hong Kong since the QEF’s establishment, innovation and/or new development would cover new ideas or practices (including enhancement and/or adaptation) which serve to supplement and/or complement the existing practices that would facilitate the development of schools to address the needs specific to their own contexts. This also covers projects which could build on and further expand the new ideas or practices that have been generated from projects previously funded by the QEF.
