In recent years, innovation in education has emerged as a pivotal focus in Hong Kong, across the nation, and globally. As society evolves and technology advances rapidly, traditional educational methods may fall short in preparing students to navigate the complexities of modern challenges. This highlights the essential role of innovation in educational development. While the integration of technology is a key aspect of innovative education, innovation extends beyond technological knowledge and applications. It encompasses other areas such as teaching methodologies, teacher training approaches, student learning models, learning environments, and educational management. To drive meaningful and effective change, all stakeholders in the education sector must collaborate and harness their creativity.
During this forum, experts and educators from Hong Kong and the mainland will share insights on effectively embedding innovation into education. Participants will gain practical knowledge about the significance of innovative education and explore collaborative strategies for equipping students to thrive in an ever-evolving technological landscape. Together, we can cultivate a dynamic educational ecosystem that prepares our students for a successful future.
