ECE EdUHK Hosts a forum on “Leadership Wisdom from Kindergarten Principals”

2025-12-18

The Department of Early Childhood Education at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) invited three local kindergarten principals to share their experiences and leadership insights on an online forum titled "Leadership Wisdom from Kindergarten Principals", which was held on 10 Oct 2025.

During the event, the three principals shared their valuable experiences and perspectives:

“Becoming a principal is not just taking up a new position — it is a complete transformation of mindset, capability, and vision.”

Principal Kwan Shan – “From an Excellent Teacher to an Outstanding Principal: The Starting Point of Your Leadership”

With sincerity, Principal Kwan shared her journey of transformation — from teaching one class well to leading an entire school. She emphasized, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Building a high-quality teaching team is the principal’s core mission and vision.

“Opportunities are created by oneself. With diligence and humility, one can continue to grow.”

Principal Ho Lan-sang – “Leadership Beyond Management: Building Your Own Educational Vision”

Principal Ho encouraged educators not to be overly calculative, as “by helping others, we ourselves gain even more.” Through her own example of integrity and courage, she reminded us that time management reflects decision-making ability, and true educational leaders should lead with sincerity — bringing warmth and strength to education.

“When opportunities arise, be brave to try — so both the children and ourselves can spread our wings and fly.”

Principal Ko Ho-kei – “Challenges and Empowerment of Kindergarten Principals in a New Era”

Principal Ko believes that educators must keep learning and improving, facing challenges with positivity and innovation. After completing her bachelor degree at The Education University of Hong Kong, she continued further studies, joining the “Principal Training Course” to strengthen her leadership and management confidence. Through empowerment and collaboration with teachers and parents, she leads her school to innovate amid change — moving forward with love and positivity.
