In tandem with globalization and the revolution in information and technology, knowledge nowadays advances at an ever-increasing speed, and change is forcing itself on us at every turn. As we enter into the twenty-first century, society expects its citizens to be capable of proactively dealing with change throughout life both individually and collaboratively in a context of dynamic, multicultural global transformation. Learning is considered to be a major agent to enable people to possess the knowledge, skills, creativity, enterprise for and insight into the challenges and possibilities of an unknown future. The culture of lifelong learning must thus characterize our society.
　
The education reform launched since 2000 has mapped out a basis for the growth of the learning society and pointed towards a more holistic view of education which acknowledges learning in all its forms and venues, and values the many and varied ways in which people learn. Caritas has long been taking a proactive role in facilitating the formulation of public policies in order for stakeholders to reconcile their many competing interests brought forward by the reform proposals into new forces for growth and development.

We are committed to facilitating the growth of the knowledge society through promoting and realizing the concept of lifelong learning. The focus of our effort is to foster a new learning culture in Hong Kong by means of an education provision with open access and participation. Over the years, we have developed a wide range of programmes and services in terms of levels of education and fields of study operated in formal, non-formal and informal settings.
