     Professor Ma cannot accept a three-year term up until 2023 due to personal reasons. The Secretary for Education, Mr Kevin Yeung, thanked Professor Ma for his valuable contributions to EdUHK over the past three years, and also for accepting the re-appointment for a term until the end of this year. In the meantime, the Government will identify a suitable candidate for the chairmanship of the EdUHK Council.

Under his leadership, EdUHK continues to focus on educational research, development and innovation, promoting and supporting the strategic development of teacher education in Hong Kong by nurturing outstanding and committed educators and professionals," Mr Yeung said.
