Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the information and communication technology (ICT) implementation and development by comparing a local public school and a public independent school in Hong Kong in accordance with Becta Self-Review Framework. First, a comparison across eight domains of e-leadership (curriculum leadership and management, learning and teaching, assessment, professional development, extending opportunities for learning, resources and impact on student outcome) is made and analysed. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from the Becta survey and interviews of the principal and the curriculum development officer of the local public school and the management team of the public independent school. Second, some key e-leadership issues of ICT implementation and development are identified and examined. Finally, suggestions are made for each of the eight domains.
