Thank You Address by Professor Kishore Mahbubani

I have the great honour today to deliver this thank you address on behalf of the five honorary doctorate recipients this year. I have always been immensely grateful for having been given the incredible gift of higher education. It is now the responsibility and privilege of all of us who have received this gift to pass it down to the coming generations.

In this difficult climate, education is more threatened than ever, and also more needed than ever. That is why it is so important that The Education University of Hong Kong’s mission focuses not just on training an adaptable and competent workforce, but also inculcating the values of ethical responsibility and social care and contributing to human betterment.
