Review and preview of higher vocational education: changes in Hong Kong and international trends

In Hong Kong and internationally, there should be qualification frameworks that set out clearly the overlap of higher vocational qualifications with academic qualifications. This is important for international recognition and for portability as well as for standards and labour market considerations. This paper starts with a review of higher vocational education in Hong Kong. This provides the context for the suggestion that some degrees be renamed to take into account the overlap between academic qualifications and professional qualifications.
