SED to visit Zhuhai

     The Secretary for Education, Mr Kevin Yeung, will pay a duty visit to Zhuhai tomorrow (January 22) to look into the participation of Hong Kong's universities in higher education development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

     The Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College (UIC), founded in Zhuhai in 2005, is the first university jointly established by the higher education sectors of the Mainland and Hong Kong. With the opening of its new campus and the establishment of its graduate school in 2017, the institution has entered a new stage.

     During his visit to UIC, Mr Yeung will tour some of its facilities, including the studios of the Division of Culture and Creativity, the laboratory of the Division of Business and Management, the Food Safety Testing Centre and the Whole Person Education Experiential Learning Base. He will also attend a discussion session and other gatherings for exchanges with the management, teaching staff, students and alumni of the institution.

     Mr Yeung will return to Hong Kong in the evening on the same day.
