SED leads National Day and Professional Exchange Delegation from Hong Kong Education Sector to visit Beijing
The Secretary for Education, Dr Choi Yuk-lin, led the 18th National Day and Professional Exchange Delegation from Hong Kong Education Sector to Beijing today (September 23) to call on a state leader and officials of the Ministry of Education.
Dr Choi and members of the delegation were received by Vice-Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Ms Tie Ning at the Great Hall of the People this afternoon. They also met and exchanged views with officials of the Ministry of Education.
Dr Choi said that this year marks the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, as well as the opening year of the National 15th Five-Year Plan. It is highly significant for the Hong Kong education sector to visit Beijing ahead of the National Day to celebrate the motherland's birthday with the people of the capital and experience the jubilant festive atmosphere.
Dr Choi said, "Last week, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced its First Five-Year Plan to align with the National 15th Five-Year Plan. The Hong Kong education sector faces multiple tasks such as digital education, talent cultivation and the integration of industry and education. The delegation enabled teachers to gain insight into the latest education developments of the country and share experiences with Chinese Mainland teachers in areas such as operation models, curricula, and teaching arrangements of schools at all levels. It not only broadened their horizons but also fostered exchanges between the education sectors of both places, providing important references for the future development of Hong Kong's education and laying a foundation for deeper collaboration."
Dr Choi expressed the hope that members of the delegation, upon returning to Hong Kong, can apply what they have learned to their future teaching practice, together fulfilling the core mission of cultivating values and nurturing people, guiding the new generation to actively integrate into and serve the overall national development, as well as contributing to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Dr Choi and the delegation subsequently attended a banquet hosted by the Ministry of Education, where they engaged in in-depth discussions regarding professional connections and mutual learning between the education sectors of the two places.
This year's delegation comprised around 130 participants from the education sector, including representatives of post-secondary education institutions and professional education organisations, as well as principals, vice-principals and teachers from primary and secondary schools and kindergartens. The delegation began a six-day visit on September 19, during which they visited universities, primary and secondary schools, and kindergartens in Inner Mongolia and Beijing. They also toured the Yili Future Intelligence and Health Valley in Inner Mongolia, as well as the Xiaomi Auto Factory and the Grand Canal Museum in Beijing.
Dr Choi and members of the delegation will conclude their visit and return to Hong Kong tomorrow (September 24).
