 Early this month, Hong Kong Secretary for Education Mr Eddie Ng and Education Commission Chairman Mr Moses Cheng visited Melbourne to promote Hong Kong as a regional education hub.
Mr Ng and Mr Cheng were officiating guests at the opening of a roving exhibition held at the University of Melbourne which promotes student exchange opportunities in Hong Kong.
Mr Ng said Hong Kong is a student-friendly destination with a blend of Eastern and Western cultures, offering exchange and study opportunities at quality higher education institutions.
The roving exhibition highlights key advantages and attractions of studying in Hong Kong and will travel to nine university campuses across Australia, including those in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, until September next year.
During their visit, Mr Ng and Mr Cheng also met with Victorian Minister for Children & Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell and other officials to exchange views on kindergarten education.
They also visited the Melbourne Graduate School of Education and the University of Melbourne’s Asialink to learn about the Australian government's latest education initiatives regarding Asia.
The delegates also visited the Diamond Valley Special Development School to look into its specially designed learning activities for students with intellectual disabilities.
Upon the conclusion of his three-day visit, Mr Ng said Hong Kong and Australia have common goals in the area of education, and are all committed to providing not only quality education for local residents but also opportunities for those pursuing exchanges and studies from around the world.
"There are a lot of good practices that we could share and learn from one another to improve our education services and facilities for the betterment of our students, our community and our future,” he said.
