In 2005-06, over $4,000,000 was granted to students who demonstrated
academic excellence, in the form of scholarships, prizes,
awards and bursaries. In 2005-06, to broaden student horizons
even further and provide an international perspective to their
education, the Institute decided to earmark $8,000,000 annually
for overseas immersion programmes, exchanges and visits.
Tertiary education goes beyond the mere pursuit
of academic excellence. The Institute strongly encourages
students to participate in co-curricular activities. These
help them to learn inter-personal, organisational, leadership
and problem-solving skills; all attributes that will be important
in their future careers. In 2005-06, many different co-curricular
activities were organised, involving the participation of
18,507 students.
The HKIEd has always participated actively
in social and community services. Recognising our ongoing
contributions in this direction, in 2005-06, the HKIEd received
the Caring Organization Logo award from the Hong Kong Council
of Social Service.
