Thanks to the funding of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, 38 students were admitted to the University’s Jockey Club Youth Academy for SEN in its first cohort, offering lifelong education opportunities on campus for SEN secondary school leavers. To provide tutoring and counselling services to secondary school students with confirmed or suspected mental health issues, a dedicated team at EdUHK launched Mind and Study Matter – an award-winning project at a social impact hackathon organised by HSBC Private Banking. Funded by the bank’s wealth management clients, the team has trained over 80 local university students as mental health ambassadors since April 2021. A series of mental health campaigns at local tertiary institutions is in the pipeline, and direct services to secondary schools and the community will commence in the next academic year. Investing in STEM As a priority area, the University has earmarked almost HK$10 million to drive a series of STEM education initiatives, jointly with kindergartens and primary and secondary school partners since mid-2020. The project has benefitted over 500 teachers at 33 network schools so far, through professional development courses and STEM-related materials. From kindergarten to primary school To mitigate the profound impact of the pandemic on kindergarten students and facilitate their transition to primary schooling, a special online project called the KindergartenPrimary Bridging Project 360 was launched to provide free learning resources and extensive information for parents and children.
