Director of Education (Hong Kong)

The Director of Education was a position in the Hong Kong Government. The officeholder headed the former Education Department.

History

As a result of restructuring in 1983, the old Education Department was reorganised into the Education and Manpower Branch and the Education Department. The old position of Director of Education (教育司) was, accordingly, split into the Secretary for Education and Manpower and Director of Education (教育署長), with the latter reporting to the former. http://www.legco.gov.hk/yr83-84/english/lc_sitg/hansard/h831110.pdf

The position was abolished in 2003. The functions of the Director of Education were transferred to the Permanent Secretary for Education in 2003, following the passage of the *Education Reorganization (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2002 *in the Legislative Council. http://www.legco.gov.hk/yr02-03/english/hc/papers/hc1122ls-21.pdf
