April Lai-chu Lam
Abstract
This article provides a brief description of the vision and implementation timetable for the information and communication technology (ICT) education policy in Hong Kong. The author examines the effects on teaching and learning of a school-closing crisis resulting from the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The findings were that most schools in Hong Kong were still at the elementary stage of using ICT in education. In addition, the author highlights the significant roles of leaders in culture development in schools concluding that the realization of shortfalls is itself a big step forward in making changes.
