ABSTRACT
I used to teach a course in ‘Adult education and professional development’ as part of an M.Ed. at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The students had enrolled in the programme and this particular course because they saw themselves as teachers working in the adult education and related sectors. This was before the founding of community colleges in Hong Kong, so the teachers were an interesting mix from organisations such as vocational training providers, the OUHK and charitable institutes offering part-time evening courses.
