These efforts have been well received, in terms of the number of beneficiaries and impact. The animated series on Chinese historical figures from different eras, for example, has so far received an accumulated viewership of over eight million, reaching local, overseas Chinese and non-Chinese speaking students. Another animated series on Chinese language and culture learning has been viewed around two million times, over a three-year period. We have also advocated the importance of equipping students to be future ready, in the face of the digital era, to enhance their competitiveness and enable social mobility. In 2016, shortly after retitling, the University sowed the seeds of computational thinking and STEM into curriculum development and teacher training to empower students to move beyond mere technology consumption into problem-solving. This has borne fruit with over a third of local primary schools now teaching coding, and I am pleased to learn of the Education Bureau’s plan to adopt and adapt our curricular materials in all primary schools. Knowledge transfer and innovation Also in 2016, the Knowledge Transfer Sub-office was established to facilitate and drive the dissemination of our expertise, locally and globally. This has culminated into over 70 prestigious international innovation awards since 2018. To incubate and nurture an entrepreneurial spirit in students and graduates, we have trained nearly 100 start-up teams, 20 of which have been funded. Some of our innovations, covering education technology, education toys and healthcare technology, have been licensed. This is only the beginning, with more initiatives in the pipeline to better integrate technology into education.
