Civil Service College (Hong Kong)

The Civil Service College (CSC, Chinese: 公務員學院) is a Hong Kong civil service training institution established by the Hong Kong Government.[1] It was established on December 9, 2021.[2] The main purpose of establishing the CSC is to educate Hong Kong civil servants to understand the "Chinese Constitution", "Hong Kong National Security Law", "Hong Kong Basic Law" and the spirit of "One country, two systems", to ensure that civil servants are patriots who govern Hong Kong.[3][4] The final goal is to implement the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s spirit of "patriots governing Hong Kong" pointed out by CCP general secretary Xi Jinping.[5]

History

edit

The Civil Service Bureau (CSB) originally had a Civil Service Training & Development Institute (CSTDI), which was responsible for civil servant training. Chief Executive Carrie Lam released her first policy address in 2017, which mentioned the establishment of a brand new Civil Service College.[6] In the policy address the following year, it was mentioned again that the college building will be located in Kwun Tong District, which is expected to be opened in 2026.[7] The CSB established the Civil Service Training Advisory Board led by businessman Victor Fung in 2019 to prepare for the construction of a new Civil Service College.[8] Chief Secretary for Administration Matthew Cheung stated in an interview with Shenzhen Satellite TV in 2020 that the CSC completed in the future can be like the CCP Central Party School.[9] In 2021, the Hong Kong government plans to establish the CSC within this year and upgrade the facilities of the CSTDI in the North Point Government Offices as the temporary site of the college.[10]
