The Hong Kong Education Fair 2025, organized by Sing Tao News Corporation, commenced on Sunday (Nov 23) in Shenzhen to present Hong Kong's high-quality educational resources to mainland students seeking to pursue their studies in the city.
Representatives from 16 higher education institutions from Hong Kong and more than 50 international schools located in the Greater Bay Area provide on-site consultation services on Hong Kong study planning, effective school selection strategies, and employment arrangements for participants.
Thematic seminars at the main venue focused on higher education issues, featuring presentations by principals, vice-principals, and senior management from Hong Kong tertiary institutions.
Seminars at the parallel venues were focused on diversified school selection planning, including presentations by principals or vice-principals from over ten primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong and mainland China.
This marked the first time that primary and secondary schools from Hong Kong and Mainland China participated in the Fair, providing more comprehensive and diverse information on further education.
Sing Tao has comprehensively upgraded the Fair, enhancing its scale, lineup and content this year, said Kwok Hiu-ting, the vice-chairman and chief executive of Sing Tao News Corporation.
Senior representatives from Hong Kong's top universities also participated to explain admission policies and share their educational philosophies, to furnish the most authoritative and cutting-edge guidance, Kwok added.
She hoped that the Fair would allow participants to gain a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's international educational advantages and help students broaden their horizons.
Hong Kong's government is establishing the "Study in Hong Kong" brand to develop the city as an international education hub. The Fair has received endorsement from the Education Bureau and the Shenzhen education authority.
The opening ceremony was held on Sunday afternoon, with officials from the Shenzhen Admission and Examination Office, Under Secretary for Education Jeff Sze Chun-fai from Hong Kong and chairman of Sing Tao News Corporation Kwok Ying-shing officiating.
After the ceremony, Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare Ho Kai-ming delivered a video speech, sharing the latest information regarding employment arrangements for non-local students at Hong Kong higher education institutions who choose to remain or return to Hong Kong.
