Education Mentorship Programme 2025  Inauguration Ceremony

The Inauguration Ceremony of the Education Mentorship Programme 2025 was held on March 16, 2025, marking the beginning of a new chapter for this meaningful initiative. 


Jointly organised by the Faculty of Education and the Hong Kong University Education Alumni Association (HKUEdAA), the Education Mentorship Programme aims to enhance students’ professional development. Mentees are connected with experienced mentors in education-related fields from whom they learn a great deal through direct experience and sharing.


The Ceremony commenced with a warm welcome address by Professor Lawrence Ng, Associate Dean (Outreach and Engagement). Professor Ng highlighted the vital role mentorship plays in fostering both professional development and personal growth for students across various disciplines. He also extended heartfelt appreciation to the mentors for their generous contributions of time, expertise, and commitment to nurturing the next generation of educators and professionals.


Mr Luke Yick, President of HKUEdAA, encouraged mentees to actively engage with their mentors in his address. He urged mentees to seize this unique opportunity to learn from their mentors’ experiences, deepen their understanding of their respective fields, and refine their career aspirations.


The Ceremony also featured a sharing session led by Mr Mingson Lam, one of this year’s mentors and a long-time supporter of the Programme. Mr Lam reflected on his experience as a mentor, offering advice to mentees on how to make the most of this enriching mentorship journey.


The event concluded with an interactive ice-breaking activity and a networking session. These activities provided mentors and mentees with an excellent platform to connect, exchange ideas, and develop a deeper understanding of one another.


We are confident that the Education Mentorship Programme will continue to empower our students to excel both professionally and personally, unlocking new opportunities and gaining valuable perspectives that will guide them towards success.
