With additional resources, the University upgraded its teaching, research and administrative infrastructure and capability and enhanced operational efficiency and effectiveness. In addition to technological development, the University received approval for funding of HK$651 million from the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council to construct a new academic building on its Tai Po Campus. Work commenced in September 2022 and is expected to be completed in 2025/26. The eight-storey academic building will provide additional learning and research space for the University community, provide support for the application and integration of educational technology, pedagogy and interactive learning, as well as accommodate collaborative learning activities and events. Furthermore, work to provide new facilities at the University’s North Point Study Centre was completed during the year, and the building is ready for use in the new semester, which begins in September 2023. In 2022/23, at the University level, an overall net surplus of HK$172 million was recorded, generated from both University Grants Committee (“UGC”)-funded activities and non-UGC-funded activities. At the University and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) level, the net surplus reduced slightly to HK$170 million due to a deficit of about HK$2 million incurred by The EdUHK Schools Limited (“Schools Limited”) and The EdUHK School of Continuing and Professional Education Limited (“SCPE”). Operating Results and Financial Position The Group adopted the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Statement of Recommended Practice (“SORP”) for the UGC-funded Institutions in Hong Kong. Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements shows the details of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group. Income The total income for the Group amounted to HK$2.24 billion, HK$331 million higher than that of last year. At the University level, total income for the year increased to HK$2.17 billion, HK$328 million or around 17.8% higher compared to 2021/22. There was an increase of HK$85 million in Government subventions. Income from tuition, programmes and other University fees increased by HK$44 million, mainly from non-UGC-funded programmes. Donations and benefactions increased by about HK$61 million to HK$165 million. Interest and net investment income generated a gain of about HK$85 million against a loss of HK$41 million last year. The performance of our investment portfolio improved substantially, turning around the net loss from last year to net gain in 2022/23. Interest income derived from time deposits also increased as a result of the continuous interest rate hikes in the US throughout the financial year. 香港教育大學司庫致校董會於二零二三年六月三十日止 的年度報告 概覽 新型冠狀病毒肺炎疫情持續三年多後終告段落,本校於 二零二二至二三年度恢復面授課堂及國際協作活動。 在取得額外資源的情況下,本校在教學、研究、行政基 礎設施與能力,以至營運效率與效益方面,均有所提 升。在科技發展以外,本校獲立法會財務委員會批出 六億五千一百萬元撥款,於大埔校園內興建一座新教學 大樓。有關工程已於二零二二年九月展開,並預計於二 零二五至二六年度竣工。新教學大樓樓高八層,將為本 校師生及教職員提供額外的學習與教研空間,支援教育 科技、教學法和互動學習的應用與融合,便利進行各種 協作性的學習與活動。此外,教大北角教學中心的翻新 工程已於年內完成,新設施並於二零二三年九月的新學 期投入服務。 二零二二至二三年度,本校錄得淨盈餘一億七千二百萬 元,主要來自大學教育資助委員會(「教資會」)的資助 項目及非教資會資助項目的收入。在本校及附屬機構層 面(合稱為「本集團」),所錄得的淨盈餘輕微減少,為 一億七千萬元。此盈餘的微降是由於香港教育大學附屬 學校有限公司(「學校有限公司」)及香港教育大學持續專 業教育學院(「持續專業教育學院」)合共出現的二百萬元 赤字所致。 營運業績及財務狀況 本集團採納香港會計師公會頒布的香港財務報告準則 (「財務準則」),以及教資會資助大學的建議準則(「建議 準則」)。本校綜合財務報表附註一羅列了本集團採用的 主要會計政策細則。 收入 本集團的總收入為二十二億四千萬元,較去年度多出 三億三千一百萬元。 本校年內的整體收入為二十一億七千萬元,較二零二一 至二二年度多出三億二千八百萬元,增幅為百分之十七 點八。政府撥款增加了八千五百萬元;學費、課程及其 他本校收費增加四千四百萬元,增幅主要源自非教資 會資助課程;捐款及捐助上升約六千一百萬元,達至 一億六千五百萬元;在利息及投資淨收益方面,相對於 去年度四千一百萬元的虧損,本年度獲利八千五百萬 元。與去年相比,本年度的投資組合績效大幅改善,得 以轉虧為盈。銀行定期存款的利息收入亦有所增加,歸 因於美國息率在整個財政年度內持續上升。
