A few years ago, two young ladies, both with a passion for teaching, arrived at the HKIEd to pursue a degree in teacher education. Four years later, not only have their academic levels been enhanced under the caring guidance of the Institute's professors, their horizons have also been broadened by overseas immersion programmes. These learning experiences coupled with their commitment and focus, have won them hard-earned success – excellent academic results at the Institute, as well as the opportunity to further their education at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
