Executive Development Programme for Hainan Senior Government Officials

A series of six Executive Development Programmes, tailor-made for senior officials from Hainan province, has been organised by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). The first programme in the series was completed on 4 July. "Hainan is a province with great potential for development and growing prospects," said Professor Sham-Dow Kung, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs at HKUST, speaking at the graduation ceremony. "With single-minded focus and concerted effort, senior government officials can transform Hainan into a new province demonstrating the success of the open- door and reform policies." The agreement signed by HKUST and the Hainan Association for International Exchange of Personnel calls for the University to provide six programmes to train 180 senior policy-making offkials in three years. About 30 participants will take part in each programme. "Our training programme demonstrates a high level of co-operation between an entire province in China and a local tertiary institute," said Professor Hsi-sheng

Ch'i, Dean of Humanities and Social Science and organiser of the series of programmes. "This is unique in Hong Kong." The second programme is scheduled to take place in January 1994. Please direct enquires to 358 6306 or 116 3388 call 2651.
