She highlighted that this election is crucial for the future of every Hong Kong citizen and impactful for the common good and long-term prosperity of the city. Dr Choi urged educators, who bear the responsibility of nurturing the next generation, to exercise their voting rights to drive continuous progress in education. She called on everyone to cast their votes on December 7 and encouraged various stakeholders, including school staff, alumni, and parents, to cast their votes to contribute to good governance, economic development, and the well-being of Hong Kong.

     Representatives from the education sector were invited to speak at the event, calling on fellow educators to exercise their civic rights and responsibility by voting.

     Following the sharing, Dr Choi, along with the Permanent Secretary for Education, Ms May Chan; the Under Secretary for Education, Dr Sze Chun-fai; and Deputy Secretary for Education, Ms Ida Lee, joined representatives from post-secondary education, primary and secondary schools (including special schools) and kindergartens to officiate at the launch ceremony of the education sector mobilisation rally.
