Chairman’s Foreword The Education University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2020-2021 4 Chairman’s Foreword 校董會主席前言 Passion for education Education is essential for every one of us, and society has high expectations of teachers who educate our future generations not just by transmitting knowledge, but also in forming values. I am keenly aware of the unique role EdUHK plays in Hong Kong, given its strategic focus on teacher education and related disciplines. It is imperative that the University continues to hold steadfast to its core mission of nurturing prospective and in-service educators, generation after generation. Teaching is more than just a job. Teachers must be knowledgeable, passionate and inspirational. Above all, they are change agents and role models who should have a strong commitment to society and the country. I am pleased with the University’s recent revamp of its common core curriculum and graduate attributes, which place equal emphasis on professional excellence, moral values, integrity, and positivity. With the ample learning opportunities available during their university journey, EdUHK students can mature and grow personally, academically and professionally with these positive attributes and values. 教育熱誠 教育對任何人而言，不可或缺。社會對教師有殷切期 望，教師作育英才，不僅要為下一代傳遞知識，更要 建立其正確價值觀。我深明教大專注教師教育及相關 學科，在本港發揮著獨特的角色。我們必須堅守核心 使命，培訓準教師及在職教師，薪火相傳。教師不僅是 一份工作；他們必須知識淵博、熱衷教學，並能啟迪學 生。他們既是變革推動者，亦是學生的楷模，對社會和 國家更要有所承擔。我很欣喜，教大近年就共同核心課 程和畢業生素質作出革新，重視學生應有的專業卓越、 道德責任、個人操守和正向思維。我相信，教大學生在大 學修業期間將會不斷成長，藉著眾多學習機會，追求個 人、學術與專業卓越，建立正面價值觀及培養良好素質。 This is my first foreword as Council Chairman of The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), a role that comes with great responsibility and commitment. I must pay tribute to all my predecessors at different stages of the University’s development for their exemplary contributions to the significant transformation and phenomenal growth of EdUHK. 這是我首次以香港教育大學（教大）校董會主席身分，撰寫年報前言。擔承 此職，深感任重道遠，在此必須感謝歷任主席在不同階段的非凡貢獻，引 領本校蛻變成長，發展一日千里。 A briefing for Chief Executive Mrs Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor (sixth from right) on the University’s research and knowledge transfer projects during her visit to the campus in July 2021 行政長官林鄭月娥女士（右六）於二零 二一年七月到訪教大，了解本校的研 究工作及知識轉移項目
