In the years ahead, we will continue to adhere to our vision of becoming a leading university in the Asia Paci c region and beyond, with a focus on teacher education, as well as educational research and innovation. We remain committed to our long-held Education-plus approach, which has guided us in our transformation as an education-focused university.
To cope with the long-term growth of the University and its corresponding increase in learning, teaching and research activities, the University is seeking government’s support for the construction of a new academic building on the Tai Po campus, in addition to the establishment of a town centre tailored for the professional development of in-service teachers. These capital projects are crucial to the University’s long-term development. While we have started the ball rolling, we do understand it may take
years before their actual completion given the elaborate and stringent scrutiny process. Nevertheless, I look forward to the ourishing campus development in the coming years.

校長的話
士學位及其他學術資歷，倍感歡欣。目覩一眾畢業生 修業圓滿，滿臉喜色，更滿懷自信，迎接未來，開展 他們人生的新旅程，不啻是我們授業者最美好的回 報，這亦正是大學教育的本志。
在「教育為本，超越教育」的理念引領下，我們已成 功發展為一所以教育為重心的大學。展望未來，教大 將繼續朝著這個願景邁進，矢志成為亞太地區以至 全球，一所專注教師教育及教育研究與創新而穩站 前列的先導大學。
為應對本校未來的長遠發展，以及隨之而來的學與 教及研究需要的擴展，我們現正尋求政府支持，在 大埔校園內增建一座新教學大樓，並在市區增設分 校，為在職教師修讀專業進修課程提供交通方便和 適切的學習環境。這兩項工程對教大長遠發展極為 重要。相信大家都會明白，此等工程必須通過嚴格 的審核程序，非經多年難竟其功。然而，千里之行， 始於足下，我懇切期待，本校枝繁葉茂的燦爛前景。
