Honored to be appointed Co-Chair of the newly established Chongqing-Hong Kong Education Collaboration Centre, alongside Chongqing High-Tech Zone’s Director of Public Services, under the witness of Director Gao of the Zone’s Administration Committee. Hong Kong has long been a global education hub. This new initiative focuses on nurturing talent with local roots and global competence, built on the pillars of cognition, capability, and values. As the intergovernmental cooperation mechanism between the two cities launched two years ago, I spoke with principals from over 40 schools across the district about the strategic importance of Chongqing-Hong Kong cooperation and discussed how education must evolve in the face of globalization and technological transformation. I emphasized the need for cross-cultural understanding, digital literacy, and a strong sense of public responsibility—qualities essential for the next generation of changemakers.
