On October 10, 2025, the HKU Faculty of Education, in collaboration with the Hong Kong University Education Alumni Association (HKUEdAA), hosted a sharing session entitled “How to prepare for a teacher interview” under the Education Mentorship Programme. The event drew enthusiastic participation from current undergraduate and postgraduate students, along with recent graduates across various programmes.
The session began with a warm welcome from Professor Lawrence Ng, Associate Dean (Outreach and Engagement), who expressed his appreciation to the two experienced educators from the HKUEdAA, Dr Mingson Lam and Mr Derek Wong, for generously sharing their expertise to support participants in their professional journeys.
Dr Lam emphasised the importance of staying informed about current trends in the education sector and keeping abreast of the latest developments at the schools where participants plan to apply. Mr Wong offered a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted roles and expectations of teachers, as well as effective preparation strategies for each stage of the interview process.
The event concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where participants exchanged ideas and engaged in thoughtful dialogue with the speakers. The valuable perspectives and guidance shared not only equipped participants with practical approaches for teacher interviews but also encouraged them to take proactive steps toward building fulfilling careers in education.
