Abstract | The Opening Learning Institute of Hong Kong (OLI) has been receiving Government funding but it has to be self-financing through tuition fees income by 1993-94. The OLI is now experiencing financial difficulty and is unable to achieve the self-financing goal. This paper examines the rationale underlying the self-financing goal and discusses the current financial crisis of the OLI. This paper proposes new funding measures such as a matching grant, tax exemption and a student loan scheme to solve OLI"s financial crisis. |
