***************************************************************
     The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, today (July 26) visited the Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) to learn more about the promotion of knowledge transfer in the institution to leverage academic research and professional skills for social and education development. She also met with the EdUHK senior management to receive a briefing on the latest developments of the university.

     Accompanied by the Chairman of the Council of EdUHK, Dr David Wong, and the President of EdUHK, Professor Stephen Cheung, Mrs Lam was briefed by representatives of various departments on transformation of academic and professional knowledge into new services and products through technology and creative ideas to propel the diversification of education development. Projects introduced by the department representatives included the grid notation that makes it easier for students to read musical scores to arouse their interest in learning music, a distance-training application for behavioural therapy powered by artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to help parents conduct training for children with special educational needs at home, and an animated series on Chinese history characters to cultivate interest in learning about Chinese history and culture in students and help them build national identity and good character. Mrs Lam also received a briefing on the university's science and environmental education and related research and development projects.

     "I am pleased to note that EdUHK has been actively motivating teaching staff and students to leverage innovation and technology and creativity to transform knowledge and academic research achievements for application in education and society. It is encouraging that some EdUHK research projects are prize winners in open or international competitions, while some have been adopted in education and other aspects, benefiting students and members of the public.

     "EdUHK is the cradle for educators. I hope that the university will continue to make advancements and nurture teachers who are capable, virtuous and committed and have an affection for the nation, helping society cultivate the future generations. In light of Hong Kong's integration into the development of the nation through participation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), I encourage EdUHK to leverage its professional advantages to nurture talents for the GBA," Mrs Lam said.
