The Web site (http://www. education18.com) was the brainchild of well-known education writer Joy Shi Mei-chun.

It covers local, mainland and overseas studies, continuing education, professional bodies, on-line education, career development, employment surveys, career trends and major job Web sites.

Renowned educationalists such as Ms Shi, Frang Ng and Chiu Wing-tak will be contributing articles to the site.

At the launching ceremony, Ms Shi said she hoped the site could help people find information more quickly. It was designed by the Department of Electronic and Information En gineering of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Ms Shi said: 'All information about further studies in Hong Kong, the mainland, Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia can be found at the site.' She said the site did not only cover education. To provide an overview of the workplace, career trends and links to major jobs Web sites have been included.

'It is good for students to understand job market trends before they decide which subjects to study.' Ms Shi is working on developing on-line education in partnership with different institutions.
