The Education University of Hong Kong established the President’s Awards for Outstanding Performance in 2011/12 to recognise and encourage individual and team achievements in teaching, research, knowledge transfer and administrative services, and to foster the University’s commitment to a performance-driven culture. This year, an award presentation ceremony for the President’s Awards for Outstanding Performance for the academic year 2021/22 was held on 12 July.

EdUHK President Professor Stephen Cheung Yan-leung congratulated the awardees on their extraordinary performance. He said, “The lingering of the pandemic has presented enormous challenges. Whilst the University continues to hold steadfast to nurturing prospective and in-service educators, it made great progress on various fronts, including educational innovation and inventions. I am proud of our colleagues’ achievements and thank them for their dedication and contributions.”

This year, three scholars and one team from the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (FLASS) were awarded in recognition of their achievements and contributions.
