President’s Overview 校長的話 香港教育大學 2021-2022 年報 11 Sense of gratitude On a personal note, I would say that my tenure has been most fulfilling and rewarding. It has been my privilege to have worked and lived on this beautiful campus for the past nine years or so. The morning walk, evening swim and encounters with colleagues and students will be part of my fond memory. As President, I feel that nothing is more gratifying than seeing students excel and graduate with confidence and preparedness. My entire academic career has been in the higher education sector, but I was new to the world of teacher education when I took the helm at the then Institute, back in 2013. Nurturing teachers today helps shape the world of tomorrow. I am fortunate to have met so many passionate educators and professionals who have generously afforded me their counsel and insight. I take pride in having played a role in the journey towards attaining the university title and the contributions made by the University to the school sector and the wider community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank very warmly all stakeholders and friends of the University for their unfailing support and encouragement amidst the challenges along the way. Finally, my best wishes go to my successor Professor John Lee Chi-kin, a committed educator and highly respected scholar with whom I have worked closely for almost a decade. Professor Stephen Cheung Yan-leung, SBS, JP, Officier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques President 由衷致謝 回顧多年在教大的點點滴滴，本人十分慶幸可以在這風 光明媚、地靈人傑的校園工作和生活。我在這九年的任 期過得十分充實，更饒有滿足感。清晨在校園漫步、傍 晚抽空游泳，以及閒時與師生交流分享，都會成為我的 珍貴回憶。作為一校之長，眼見學生學有所成，滿懷自 信畢業，實在深感欣慰。 雖然我整個學術生涯都與高等教育結下不解緣，但其實 我在二零一三年接任校長一職時，可說是教師教育領域 的一名「新手」。過去多年，我深深體會到，能夠成功培 育今天的教師，即可塑造明天的世界。我有幸能遇上無 數的教育有心人和專業人士，他們慷慨建言，提供真知 灼見，令我獲益良多。能夠參與大學正名過程，並與教 大同仁齊心協力，為社會作出貢獻，更教我引以為傲。 藉此機會，我要感謝所有持份者和大學友好，在種種挑 戰下，仍一直支持和鼓勵我們，與教大並肩同行。最 後，我衷心祝願繼任校長李子建教授。過去近十年，他 與我合作無間，是一位敬業的教育家，更是備受尊崇的 學者。 張仁良教授, SBS, JP, Officier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques 校長
