From March 5 to 9, SCNU's delegation, led by Yang Zhongmin, president of SCNU, visited Hong Kong and Macao for educational exchange and further cooperation.
The delegation visited the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong SAR, the Hong Kong Education Bureau, the Macao Education and Youth Development Bureau, Lingnan University, the University of Macao, the Hong Kong Academy of Finance, the Centro Amador de Estudos Permanentes de Macau, the Hong Kong Federation of Education Workers, and the Tin Ka Ping Foundation. They also participated in the Spring Reception hosted by the Hong Kong Alumni Association and Macao Alumni Association.
Wang Weiming, the Minister of Education, Science and Technology in Hong Kong, and Zhang Zhihua, the Minister of Youth Affairs met with the delegation.
Yang Zhongmin introduced SCNU's cooperation with Hong Kong in teacher education, personnel training and scientific research. Over the years, SCNU has been actively participating in the education and training of Hong Kong teachers. Earlier this year, Hong Kong's first teacher training and exchange base on the Chinese mainland was inaugurated at SCNU. The base provides academic exchange and joint training programs for students from the University of Hong Kong, the Education University of Hong Kong, and Lingnan University, promoting closer integration of education within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).
Wang Weiming expects more educational cooperation between SCNU and Hong Kong universities by exploiting its extraordinary edge in education. Zhang Zhihua hopes that in the future, more Hong Kong students who study at SCNU could contribute to science innovation and development in Hong Kong.
