The Hong Kong Education and Manpower Bureau (ch. 香港教統局 pinyin xiang1 gang3 jiao4 tong3 ju2), also known as the HKEMB or simply the EMB in short, is responsible for any educational policy in Hong Kong. It also works closely with other departments for any joint decision for instance with Hong Kong Observatory in determining cancellation of classes due to severe weather conditions. The Secretary for Education and Manpower is the head of the Bureau. This position is currently occupied by Professor Arthur K. C. Li, graduate of the City University of Hong Kong.
