香港教育大學 2023-2024 年報 5 Chairman’s Foreword 校董會主席前言 Strengthening our role as an education hub Equally important is the progress EdUHK has made in educational technology, innovative teaching, and forging key partnerships. Collaborations with institutions and governments across the Hong Kong SAR, the Greater Bay Area, the Chinese Mainland and beyond have expanded opportunities for both academics and students. This network of partnerships enhances knowledge in areas such as teacher professional ethics and Chinese culture, while amplifying EdUHK’s impact on broader communities. During the reporting year, EdUHK remained dedicated to its mission of sharing expertise with diverse sectors of society, including those with special needs, schoolchildren, teachers, parents and the older population. The University also expanded its footprint on the Chinese Mainland and Southeast Asia, further demonstrating its commitment to contributing to the regional educational landscape. Nurturing future educators and social leaders With its rich heritage, we deeply understand EdUHK’s role and vision in today’s changing world. As a leading university in education, EdUHK is not only a centre of teaching and learning but also a hub of innovation, tasked with shaping educational solutions for the future and making meaningful social impact locally, nationally, and globally. In this respect, EdUHK’s teacher education roots make it unique among the eight University Grants Committee-funded universities, in that the skills, methods and values taught to students will be passed on to future generations. As such, EdUHK’s future also epitomises the future of education in Hong Kong SAR as part of Mainland China. This is something in which the University takes immense pride and feels a profound sense of responsibility. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere thanks to the outgoing Council Members, Prof Lui Hon-kwong, Mr Yau Siu-hung, Dr Sammy Hui King-fai, Dr Park Jae-hyung, Miss Emily Cheung Yu-yi and Ms Sarah Wong Man-yee for their commitment and wise counsel. I would also like to welcome the new Council Members, Mr Choy Sai-hung, Dr Henry Ho Kin-chung, Dr Sarah Lee Hoi-man, Prof Kevin Chan Ka-shing, Ms Gemma Cunanan Sitchon and our new Vice President (Administration), Dr Tom Fong Wing-ho. Dr David Wong Yau-kar, GBS, JP Chairman of the Council 鞏固教育樞紐的先導地位 教大在教育科技、創新教與學及建立重要合作夥伴關係 方面同樣取得顯著成果。我們與香港、粵港澳大灣區、 中國內地及全球多所高等院校和政府機構緊密合作，為 教大的學者和學生提供了更廣泛的發展機遇。這些合作 網絡不僅深化了師德與文化方面的知識領域，還進一步 擴大了教大的影響力。在報告年度內，教大堅守使命， 積極向社會各界分享專業知識與創新成果，涵蓋特殊需 要人士、長者、學童、教師及家長等。同時，教大亦於 中國內地及東南亞進一步拓展影響力，充分彰顯我們在 推動區域教育發展上的堅定承諾。 孕育未來教育工作者及社會領袖 憑藉深厚的歷史傳承，我們深感教大在當今瞬息萬變世 界中所肩負的使命與願景。作為教育領域的領先學府， 教大不單是教與學的中心，更是創新發展的樞紐，承擔 着塑造未來教育解決方案的重任，並致力於在本地、全 國乃至全球範圍發揮深遠而持久的社會影響。 在這方面，教大的師範教育傳統讓我們在八所教資會資 助的大學中獨具特色。教大所傳授的技能、方法與技巧 將代代相傳，延續至未來。因此，教大的發展不僅象徵 着自身的未來，也彰顯香港作為中國內地一部分的教育 發展趨勢。對此，我們深感自豪，並深知肩負的重大責 任。 最後，我謹藉此機會，向離任的校董會成員表達由衷謝 意，包括呂漢光教授、邱少雄先生、許景輝博士、朴宰 亨博士、張如意小姐及黃敏兒女士，感謝他們的寶貴貢 獻及建言。同時，我在此歡迎新任校董會成員蔡世鴻先 生、何建宗博士、李凱雯博士、陳家承教授、Gemma Cunanan Sitchon女士及教大的新任副校長（行政）方永 豪博士。 黃友嘉博士，GBS, JP 校董會主席
