On Monday’s Backchat, we’re talking about the future of education.

From evolving technologies to societal changes, educators are on a constant race against time to develop curriculums keeping abreast of the latest trends. A big one, AI, has been incorporated into the syllabus of over 450 public schools and several universities have adopted policies on AI use.

Speaking at “The Future of Education” forum held at the University of Hong Kong to celebrate the Faculty of Education’s 40th anniversary, scholars stressed that Hong Kong had many attributes in the field, whilst highlighting the need for different sectors to collaborate in laying out future policies.
