History
Kowloon Technical School was established on 11th September 1961. Before the establishment, it was named as Sham Shui Po Technical School. In 1964, the unification with the Fuk Wah Secondary Modern School (福華街實用中學) had been performed, and the biggest secondary school in Hong Kong was formed. In the late 1960's and 1970's, Kowloon Technical School had more than 1900 students with 51 classes. However, due to the population re-structuring in western Kowloon, the students population has been reduced to around 1100.
In 1997, the Review of Prevocational and Secondary Technical Education suggested that technical schools can change their name by removing the labelling terms. Kowloon Technical School was invited to change their name to Kowloon Government Secondary School (九龍官立中學). However, due to the strong objections, the original name of the school was preserved.
In 1998, the teaching medium has been totally changed from English to Chinese. In 1999, School Management Committee of Government Schools has been founed.
