Education powers a better world. Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Education is the key to solving real challenges in Hong Kong such as the covid-19 outbreak, economic recession, unemployment in hard-hit industries, online education, climate change, poverty, and gender inequality.
Educators, business leaders, and policymakers recognise the importance of education as a tool to enhance social and economic progress in our city. Learning should continue throughout one’s life and should not stop when one has obtained employment-related qualifications.
Join us at Redefining Hong Kong on May 6th to hear experts discuss:
- How could Hong Kong encourage life-long learning in a knowledge-based economy?
- How are local universities or post-secondary education institutions future-proofing the next generation for jobs that do not exist yet? Or aligning their current programmes and degrees with the needs of local employers?
- How can the Hong Kong government promote life-long learning in students, employees as well as stay-at-home parents?
We are looking forward to seeing you at the event.
