Specialism Coordinator:

Comparison is a fundamental tool for all forms of enquiry.  When applied to education in an international setting, it assists in identification of factors which shape education systems, processes and outcomes, and instruments for improvement. The comparisons in this specialism will be framed by theories and understandings of the forces of globalisation.  These forces bring benefits for many people, but can also have negative dimensions. The specialism will examine forces of continuity and change and the implications for educators.  It will also focus on the nature of development in an international context and on the role of education in the processes of development.  This will include analysis of all levels of formal education (early childhood to higher education), and various types of non-formal education.  It will include particular reference to UNESCO’s work in the context of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The objectives of this programme are to help students:

  • Develop an in-depth understanding of the literature of whole child development and how it applies to early childhood education in Hong Kong and elsewhere;
  • Understand the types of leadership necessary for principals, mid-level leaders, teachers and other educators to lead pre-schools successfully towards improved student development and learning outcomes;
  • Develop knowledge-sharing and professional learning networks;
  • Critically review the issues involved in the reform of as well as policies and practices related to early childhood education; and
  • Become proactive in facilitating school-based curriculum and teaching reforms and institutional improvement.

Hong Kong leader warns mainland students on fake degrees

Island’s chief executive instructs universities to strengthen vetting processes as plans to attract more offshore students ramp up.

  • Share on linkedin
  • Share on mail

Hong Kong cityscape view from across Victoria Harbor in the morning.

Hong Kong has warned students against faking documentation to gain admission to the island’s universities, as policymakers scale up plans to attract more international students.

It comes as a student from mainland China was sentenced to 17 weeks in jail for using fake credentials in her application to the University of Hong Kong (HKU).

The 24-year-old, Wu Linhui, was one of about 30 students enrolled in the institution’s business school found to have used forged documents to get into a postgraduate course. The students involved had reportedly paid agents in China and overseas to produce the fake credentials.

In court, Wu, who is the first to be prosecuted, admitted that she had falsely claimed to have attended Cornell University when she applied to HKU in 2022. HKU began investigating concerns about fake qualifications in May 2024 and subsequently contacted the US university, which confirmed that Wu had never been a student there.

Hong Kong’s leaders have now warned prospective international students that any suspicions of admissions fraud will be investigated and prosecuted.

Speaking to journalists, John Lee, the chief executive of Hong Kong, said the government was working with mainland authorities to crack down on “unscrupulous” individuals producing fake documents.

“I believe that the majority of students are law-abiding,” he said. “Hong Kong’s universities themselves need to enhance and strengthen their systems in verification of academic qualifications from applications. We are talking about a huge number of applications, but if there are contraventions, law enforcement agencies will take action.”

Mr Lee said some universities have already “strengthened their vetting processes” and have “identified some dodgy cases”.

It comes days after the government reaffirmed its commitment to attracting non-local students to Hong Kong.

In his annual policy address, Mr Lee said the government aimed to “expedite the development of Hong Kong into an international hub for post-secondary education, bringing in more global high-calibre talents”.

Policies to support this include expanding the “Study in Hong Kong brand”, including by participating in more international conferences, increasing the supply of student housing in the city and the continued development of the Northern Metropolis University Town .

Last year, the government eased restrictions on international student numbers at Hong Kong’s universities, doubling the limit on the number of non-local undergraduates allowed to enrol.

The island’s universities largely welcomed the move, which was expected to significantly increase the number of mainland Chinese students at Hong Kong’s institutions.

Now, the government has said it will focus on students from the Asean region, the Middle East and other Belt and Road countries , offering more scholarships to help overcome cost barriers.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Lee emphasised that the government would work with universities to promote Hong Kong as an international student destination, while combating illegal activities.

Hong Kong Bourse May Reverse Thursday's Losses

October 24, 2024 — 09:15 pm EDT

Written by RTTNews.com for RTTNews  ->

(RTTNews) - The Hong Kong stock market on Thursday snapped the two-day winning streak in which it had advanced more than 280 points or 1.4 percent. The Hang Seng Index now sits just beneath the 20,490-point plateau although it's expected to open to the upside on Friday.

The global forecast for the Asian markets is mixed to higher, likely driven by the latest earnings news. The European markets were up and the U.S. bourses were mixed and the Asian markets figure to split the difference.

The Hang Seng finished sharply lower on Thursday following losses from the property stocks and technology companies.

For the day, the index stumbled 270.53 points or 1.30 percent to finish at 20,489.62 after trading between 20,448.46 and 20,685.46.

Among the actives, Alibaba Group retreated 3.24 percent, while Alibaba Health Info plummeted 4.73 percent, ANTA Sports dropped 2.01 percent, China Life Insurance was down 0.94 percent, China Mengniu Dairy declined 3.11 percent, China Resources Land tumbled 3.44 percent, CITIC slid 1.07 percent, CNOOC climbed 1.17 percent, CSPC Pharmaceutical tanked 3.45 percent, Galaxy Entertainment dipped 1.02 percent, Haier Smart Home eased 0.82 percent, Hang Lung Properties sank 1.97 percent, Henderson Land shed 1.72 percent, Hong Kong & China Gas added 0.33 percent, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China collected 0.42 percent, JD.com surrendered 3.02 percent, Lenovo slumped 2.71 percent, Li Auto lost 1.49 percent, Li Ning rallied 1.44 percent, Meituan plunged 4.05 percent, New World Development skidded 2.11 percent, Nongfu Spring stumbled 3.16 percent, Techtronic Industries slipped 0.97 percent, Xiaomi Corporation fell 1.17 percent and WuXi Biologics weakened 2.37 percent.

The lead from Wall Street is murky as the major averages opened mixed on Thursday and finished the same way.

The Dow dropped 140.59 points or 0.33 percent to finish at 42,374.36, while the NASDAQ climbed 138.83 points or 0.76 percent to close at 18,415.49 and the S&P 500 rose 12.44 points or 0.21 percent to end at 5,809.86.

The strength on the tech-heavy NASDAQ was spurred by strong quarterly earnings from the likes of Tesla (TSLA) and UPS (UPS).

On the other hand, the Dow was weighed by weak quarterly earnings news from IBM (IBM), Honeywell (HON) and Boeing (BA).

Oil prices fell on Thursday, extending losses from the previous session as concerns about excess supply and weak crude consumption in China weighed. West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures for December ended down $0.58 or 0.8 percent at $70.19 a barrel.
