SCOM Talk Show ep13: Professor Stephen Cheung

“A university certificate is just an ‘entry ticket’ to society that kick-starts the competition after graduation. Young people of this generation need to keep upgrading themselves through lifelong learning and grasp every single opportunity.”

We are honoured to have Professor Stephen Cheung, President of The Education University of Hong Kong, be the guest of this episode of The School of Communication’s Talk Show series. He shares his views on the challenges that Hong Kong education is facing and the criteria and responsibilities of teachers. He points out that as time goes by, the status of teacher nowadays is no longer as authoritative as in the past, creating greater challenges to them. Compared with academic capability, Professor Cheung thinks that positive attitude, kindness and patience weigh more and are the requisites for being a good teacher. In view of university education going from being meritocratic to universal, he encourages graduates to keep learning and grasp every opportunity to keep abreast of a changing world.
