Participating in the AIA Quest for the Champion Communicator 2005

On 9 July 2005, an agreement on deep collaboration was signed between Professor Paul Morris, President of the HKIEd and Professor Lawrence J. Lau, Vice-Chancellor of CUHK. It is expected that the combined strengths of HKIEd and CUHK will create synergy and facilitate cross-fertilisation, which will enhance the quality of education and the teaching profession throughout Hong Kong. It will also enhance the performance of both institutions in their respective roles, agreed with the University Grants Committee (UGC), ensuring that they jointly take the leading position in teacher education in Hong Kong. The deep collaboration will also play a significant role in the education scene across the Asia-Pacific region, contributing to making Hong Kong a regional hub for higher education.

In exploring deep collaboration, both institutions will acknowledge, recognise and respect the differences in the missions, roles and traditions of each other. With its focus on the academic and professional enhancement of teacher education in Hong Kong and the region, collaboration is not intended for resource saving purposes. The Institute and CUHK have appointed a joint Task Force, a vice-presidential level group, to start drawing up mid to long term strategies and plans. By involving and consulting with staff and students throughout the process, the Task Force will explore the opportunities provided by deep collaboration, through adhering to the above guiding principles in its future discussion, with a focus on the coming two triennia (2005-2008 and 2008-2011).

It is the Institute's intention that the deep collaboration will bring benefits to students and all parties. Meanwhile the UGC has assured the two institutions that the UGC's resources devoted to teacher education in each institution would be at least preserved, subject to the progress of the deep collaboration. It has also reaffirmed its willingness to consider, at an appropriate time, a joint submission from both institutions seeking additional financial support under this initiative in this and / or the next triennium.
