Abstract
To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Hong Kong education, the Education Department has embarked on an Information Systems Strategy (ISS). Under this five-year strategy, Information Technology will be employed to develop an integrated computer network linking the department and over 1,500 public sector primary and secondary schools. On implementation of this 70 million US dollars project, much of the manpower and resources currently engaged in information processing will be saved. Furthermore, the information infrastructure will provide the strategic information necessary for policy making, putting the department in a better position to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
