Hong Kong's vision as an international education hub under the national 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30)

As we embark on the journey of the national 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region stands at a pivotal juncture. The HKSAR government is aligning its strategies to transform our city into an international hub for high-caliber talent. Education is the bedrock of this vision. Our mission is clear: to leverage our unique advantages under "one country, two systems" to nurture the innovators and leaders of tomorrow.

To consolidate our status as an international education hub, we have launched the "Study in Hong Kong" brand and introduced various scholarship programs to attract the brightest minds. Our recent promotional efforts have yielded concrete outcomes. By engaging with international partners, in particular those participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, and hosting flagship education conference, we are showcasing Hong Kong's world-class postsecondary institutions to a global audience.

From our meetings with counterparts, we gather that students are seeking a safe, vibrant, multicultural environment that bridges East and West. Despite complex global geopolitics, Hong Kong's educational brand remains resilient. We are expanding our promotions to cover our robust secondary-school sector to attract young talent and their families.
