The Hong Kong College of Technology (HKCT) 香港專業進修學校 was originally established as the Mongkok Workers' Night School 旺角工人夜校 in 1957 at the original school campus of Mongkok Workers' Children School. [1] It was the first non-subvented workers' school in Hong Kong to provide affordable education opportunities for working-class families after the Second World War.
On 30 March 1987, the MKWNS officially changed its name to the Hong Kong College of Technology 香港專業進修學校 to reflect its courses and education changing needs. It is now being transformed into the charitable post-secondary education institution. In August 2014, the registration of 'HKCT Institute of Higher Education' (CTIHE) 港專學院 under the Post-Secondary Colleges Ordinance (Cap. 320) was approved. CTIHE becomes the nineteenth tertiary institution eligible to award degrees in Hong Kong.
Since 1992, HKCT became one of the first-batch retraining institutions when the Employees Retraining Board (the succeeding named as the Hong Kong Government’s Provisional Retraining Fund Board) was established. Its encompassed as that time the only non-subsidised institution to run the retraining courses. [2]
