Abstract
There are four debates on the duration of undergraduate programme in Hong Kong at the last century. Since The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) was established in 1963, the two universities have their own system in admission and duration of undergraduate programme. The Hong Kong University with three-year undergraduate programme serves pupils from Anglo-Chinese School and admits them according to their results in the Advance Level Examination, while the CUHK admits pupils from Chinese Mid dle School with Higher Level Examination results. However, Education Commission (EC) in ECR3 in 1986 suggested to combine the two matriculations. After Hong Kong's reunion with China, the Chief Executive of the HKSAR government entrusted the EC to conduct a comprehensive review of the education system. Later the EC suggested to provide a new three-year programme in Hong Kong. No matter how, it is worthwhile for people to have a historical review on this issue.
