近日，香港教育大学亚洲及政策研究学系公共政策及管理硕士副课程主任肖汉宇博士接受《明报》访问，谈及年轻人的职业规划，公共政策及管理硕士课程的特色与该课程如何帮助有志于将来从事与公共政策相关的职业的年轻人。我们将报导稍微整理，与朋友们分享，希望能够让更多的朋友了解我们系公共政策及管理硕士课程，以及帮助年轻人更好找到未来职业发展方向。
香港教育大学除了提供师范培训以外，亦开办社会科学等课程。其中包括由亚洲及政策研究学系开办的公共政策及管理硕士(Master of Public Policy and Management, MPPM)。课程着重理论与实践结合教学模式，涉猎广泛公共政策元素。另外，课程提供三大专业方向让学员自由选择，分别为管治及公共管理；社会政策；以及高等教育政策。 对于现时愈来愈多年青人投身政府部门甚至从政，公共政策及管理硕士副课程主任肖汉宇博士指年青人参政需要三大能力：首先要深入了解政策过程，培养自身分析能力及批判思维；其次要深入小区，理解市民需要；最后，以全球化角度思考问题，加以不同学科及背景的角度分析。课程其中一个必修科目「战略沟通」教导学员与公众及传媒沟通，亦是现时公共部门需要改进之处。 肖博士亦表示课程有四大特色：
- 课程设计方向的集中政策研究，讨论及比较不同国家的社会及公共政策；
- 学系与逾50间机构合作，为学员提供实习机会，合作机构包括：香港红十字会、香港美国商会等；
学系安排学员到不同政府部门及机构采访，让学员了解相关政策运行，如立法会、房委会、医管局等，另定期邀请前政府官员或学者到校举办讲座
学系非常鼓励学员积极参与公共政策分析比赛，以训练学员政策分析能力。
课程为优秀学员提供奖学金，包括：公共政策与管理硕士学术奖学金及公共政策与管理硕士非本地学生住宿奖学金。

A team of students of the Master of Public Policy and Governance (MPPG) Programme of the Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) won the first prize in the Eighth National Universities Mock Mayor Competition in November 2018. Organized by the Chinese Academy of Management and the Central University of Finance and Economics, this event is one of the most reputable academic competitions for Chinese students in the field of public policy and administration. Competing on a team basis, contestants are expected to identify a critical public policy problem in real-world setting, undertake solid policy analysis, and formulate innovative solutions.
Consisting of both local and mainland students, this EdUHK team focused on elderly care and public housing, two of the thorniest social policy issues in Hong Kong, and designed an integrated policy package that seeks to encourage intergenerational social solidarity in rapidly ageing Hong Kong. Their innovative policy solution and high-quality policy analysis were generously appreciated by the referees’ panel that comprised of senior public sector leaders in China.
第九屆全國高校「模擬市長」大賽校際總決賽在中央財經大學學舉行，亞洲及政策研究學系派出大中華地區研究社會榮譽科學學士及公共政策及管理碩士學生組成「銀杏助力隊」參賽，並榮獲全國一等獎。
「模擬市長大賽」由中國管理現代化研究會政府戰略與公共政策研究專業委員會、中央財經大學政府管理學院聯合主辦。大賽以「假如我是某市市長」為背景，以政府管理與城市發展中面臨的挑戰為主題，由各參賽團隊開展調研，撰寫研究報告，表現「學生市長」團隊對於社會問題的觀察和思考。香港教育大學銀杏助力隊以參賽議題為《超高齡社會下長者再就業對策分析—以香港特別行政區為例》，在香港教育大學和經緯副教授的指導下，聚焦香港人口老化，長者貧困率高等問題。她們在比賽中通過現場視頻展示、情景模擬、評委提問、「市長」PK等不同環節的激烈角逐，最終榮獲全國一等獎。
大中華地區研究社會榮譽科學學士四年級司徒佩芝同學Gigi在賽後表示能夠參與這次比賽，她實在獲益良多。她憶述，這個比賽她們小組前後準備了三個月，通過實地調研和團隊合作，她們最終產出一份長達六十多頁的論文報告，整個過程令她的學術研究技巧得到大幅度的提升。在北京進行決賽時，即場和其他學校進行交流也有效提升了自己的即場應變能力和溝通技巧。
Twenty-five international scholars participated in an authors’ workshop on The Future of Policy Sciences. Organized by the Department of Asian and Policy Studies (APS), the two-day workshop held between November 14 and 15 provided international participants the opportunity to engage with local scholars and explore the future of policy sciences both as an intellectual enterprise but also as a pedagogical set of activities focused on teaching and training policy professionals.
Attracting a leading cohort of internationally recognised policy scholars, including the General Secretary of the International Public Policy Association, Professor Philippe Zittoun from the University of Lyon, France, the workshop explored several themes including big data in public policy making, contrasting geographies of policy science, the future of policy schools, the evolving role of the policy scientist, and future challenges for public policy teaching and research.
The papers presented at the workshop will appear in 2020 in several special issues in leading international policy journals. The organisers of the workshop also hope to institutionalise the event via an annual rotating ‘policy dialogue series’ to be hosted by the Department of Asian and Policy Studies, EdUHK, Hong Kong, the Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Doha, Qatar, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore and the College of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Koç University, Istanbul, Turkey.
