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.
Promulgated in the Chief Executive’s Policy Address 2020 and as agreed by the QEF Steering Committee (QEFSC), $2 billion is set aside in the QEF to support e-learning by launching a three-year programme to ensure that all students will have equal opportunities in accessing e-learning and support the provision of ancillary facilities for implementation of e-learning. Under this initiative, $500 million will be allocated to set up a pilot scheme, namely “The e-Learning Ancillary Facilities Programme”(Programme)for (i) selected grantees of previously approved e-learning projects funded by the QEF (the Development and Dissemination Scheme)
and (ii) tertiary institutions and/or school sponsoring bodies (the New Project Scheme) to apply for funding under the Programme to develop ancillary facilities for implementation of e-learning in kindergartens, primary, secondary and special schools.
