A study of the decision-making bodies of the vocational training council in Hong Kong

Abstract

This article gives a brief account of the development of vocational training in Hong Kong. It then describes the vocational training system and the training boards and general committees which are the decision-making bodies of vocational training in various trades and industries. The composition of these decision-making bodies is analysed and a model of triple alliance is proposed to describe the situation. This article recommends that in view of the success of the triple alliance, more power and authority should be decentralised, and devolved to these decision-making bodies. © 1998 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
