Equitable education for students with diverse backgrounds (e.g., non-Chinese speaking students) |

* |
Transitions between Chinese and English medium of instruction |
| |
* |
Understand how school factors and broader contexts affect effective teaching in Finland and Hong Kong; and |
| |
* |
Advance the current practices through extensive result dissemination and professional development workshops. |
The forum, informed by a four-year research project, will be an arena where different parties and stakeholders, including schools, educational service providers, and academics can share views and experiences. We hope to meet you at the event!
