Representatives of EdUHK visited Hunan First Normal University’s (HFNU) Dongfanghong campus in December 2024, where the two parties agreed to establish the EdUHK–HFNU Joint Centre for Innovative Ideological and Political Education.

The Joint Centre will be set up in both Hong Kong and Changsha, where both sides will work together to accelerate ideological and political education development, take full advantage of national development opportunities, and actively explore course module and content to boost exchange and cooperation in patriotic education between Hong Kong and Hunan.

EdUHK President Professor John Lee Chi-Kin and HFNU President Professor Hu Sui signed the MoU, and both parties look forward to deepening collaboration and enhancing the quality of patriotic, ideological and political education through academic exchange, research collaboration, and mutual visits. They also aim to continuously nurture the growth of teachers from both sides by advocating teacher ethics and virtues and cultivating the ‘Spirit of Educators’.
