University Grants Committee

The University Grants Committee (UGC) is a government body that oversees funding and policies for universities and higher education institutions in a specific region, such as Hong Kong. Its primary role is to allocate government funding to these institutions, ensuring they have the resources needed for teaching, research, and development. The UGC also works to maintain high educational standards and promote collaboration among universities. By evaluating performance and setting strategic directions, it helps ensure that higher education meets societal needs and supports economic growth.
