A Survey on Using IT in Administration and Management in Hong Kong Primary Schools

In this paper, we present and discuss the results of a survey on using IT in administration and management in Hong Kong (HK) primary schools after carrying out the implementation of the five-year IT plan in by the HK government. A questionnaire was designed to collect data on five areas: IT competency levels of different school personnel, the level of using IT in administration and management activities, the level of reliance of schools on IT systems and the barriers to the full use of IT systems. Several suggestions are made to exploit the full potential of IT in schools. In particular, we suggest using web-based learning as a mode of training for servcing teachers.
