香港教育大學 2022-2023 年報 5 Chairman’s Foreword 校董會主席前言 Equally important is the future readiness of our prospective teachers, amidst the advent of new technologies, notably artificial intelligence (AI). I am encouraged by the forward-looking approach pioneered by the University to facilitate our students to use generative AI tools in an ethical and effective manner. The key is to uphold academic integrity, irrespective of technological breakthroughs. Making an impact The year 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative, which is part of the national strategy for promoting cooperation and connectivity between people in different regions of the globe. This is a priority area for EdUHK’s knowledge-transfer efforts, made possible through capacity building, consultancy and research collaboration. We have left our footprint in 12 B&R countries, from Southeast Asia and the Middle East to Central Europe. This is in addition to an array of partnerships with leading universities and international organisations. I look forward to seeing more of these impactful projects to contribute to the shaping of the regional educational landscape. Change at the helm The year also saw a global search for a new President, following the decision of Professor Stephen Cheung Yan-leung to pass on the torch upon the completion of his decade-long presidency. A search committee was established to assist the Council in the process. After months of searching and consultation meetings, Professor John Lee Chi-Kin, a passionate educator and renowned scholar of high international standing, stood out as the best candidate for the post. I have every confidence that the University will continue to scale new heights under the stewardship of Professor Lee and his new senior management team, including newly appointed Vice President (Academic), Professor May Cheng May-hung. I wish to take this opportunity to thank Professor Cheung for his exemplary leadership over the past 10 years, duringwhich the University underwent a significant transformation and impressive growth. The retitling of the then Institute in 2016, in particular, represented amajormilestone for theUniversity. My sincere thanks also go to the outgoing Council Members, Dr Anissa Chan Wong Lai-kuen, Mrs Chan Siu Suk-fan, Ms Teresa Chan Mo-ngan, Ms Trudi Chan Shui-fan, Ms Anna Hui Sui-yee and Miss Lam Sing-loi, for their dedication and wise counsel. I would also like to welcome the new Council Members, namely Mr Kwok Wing-keung, Ms Louise So Yuen-yi, Ms Teresa Poon Sin-yi and Miss Emily Cheung Yu-yi. Dr David Wong Yau-kar, GBS, JP Chairman of the Council 科技發展日新月異，尤其人工智能(AI)興起，為我們的 準教師預作準備，無疑同樣重要。教大高瞻遠矚，在這 方面率先倡導，鼓勵學生以負責任的態度，有效使用生 成式AI 工具。當然，箇中關鍵還是，無論科技如何演 變，都必須堅守學術誠信。 發揮影響力 二零二三年標誌著「一帶一路」倡議的十周年。「一帶一 路」作為國家發展策略，推動不同地區人民的合作和連 繫，亦正是教大推動知識轉移的重點領域。目前，藉著 提升師資實力、提供顧問意見，以及開展研究合作，我 們已在十二個「一帶一路」國家留下足跡，遍及東南亞、 中東和中歐。此外，我們還與各地知名大學和國際組織 達成夥伴協作關係。我期望教大日後能繼續借助更多這 類具影響力的項目，為塑造區域的教育面貌貢獻力量。 新任掌舵人 今年，隨著張仁良教授完成十年校長任期交棒，大學已 開展全球招聘新校長的工作，並成立遴選委員會，協助 校董會進行有關過程。經過數以月計的遴選和諮詢，李 子建教授脫穎而出，成為接任校長的最佳人選。他是一 位充滿熱誠的教育家，亦是國際知名學者。我有信心， 在李教授和新任副校長（學術）鄭美紅教授，以及新管理 團隊的領導下，大學的發展將會更上層樓。 在此，我特別感謝張教授過去十年的卓越領導，帶領大 學轉型，發展迅速，成績斐然；尤其二零一六年正名為 大學，標誌著本校一個重要的里程碑。 我亦藉此機會，衷心感謝離任的校董會成員，包括陳黃 麗娟博士、陳蕭淑芬女士、陳慕顏女士、陳瑞芬女士、 許瑞儀女士和林昇萊小姐，感謝他們對校董會的貢獻和 建言。同時，我亦在此歡迎新任校董會成員郭永強先 生、蘇婉儀女士、潘倩儀女士和張如意小姐。 黃友嘉博士, GBS, JP 校董會主席
