The Faculty of Education of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is organising the captioned event to share our research outcomes with the school sector and stakeholders to plan for future learning together. Our Faculty teachers will share the theoretical bases and findings of educational research that have implications for student learning, school education, parenting practices and parental education, and policy implementation and evaluation. Topics such as language learning, organisational learning and e-learning will be featured in the plenary sessions and interactive workshops.

Through this event, the Faculty aims to engage agents of change and practitioners in using the findings and insights for future learning in schools and to build continuous dialogue and collaboration with stakeholders.
