From Observation to Insight: HKU Students Gain Hands-On Experience in Authentic Classroom
On 15 November 2025, a group of 11 students from the Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Science and PGDE programmes took part in an enriching school-based learning experience.
With support from our partner school, Fanling Kau Yan College, the students, led by Dr Promail Leung (Principal Lecturer), had the opportunity to observe a Secondary 6 Physics School-based Assessment (SBA) lesson. Facilitated by our alumnus, Mr Luk Cheuk Hei Esmond, the session was engaging and interactive, sparking discussions and insights on themes from teaching philosophy to best practices in Physics and school-based STEAM education. The group also explored special facilities at the school such as the STEAM Room and Flight Simulator Room.
This activity aims to enhance student-teachers’ practical teaching skills, deepen their pedagogical content knowledge, and build confidence in managing Physics practical lessons. It also fosters professional dialogue among educators. As part of our efforts to prepare future educators in authentic learning environments, this initiative reflects our dedication to cultivating confident, capable educators who are prepared to inspire and lead in real-world classrooms. Stay tuned for more updates on our innovative teaching and learning endeavors!

Classroom to Classroom: HKU's Future Educators Gear Up with On-Site Practical Work Training
On March 29, Dr Promail Leung, Senior Lecturer and science teacher trainer at the Faculty of Education, led a group of 12 student teachers from Years 3 to 5 of the BEd&BSc programme on an enriching educational journey outside the confines of a traditional classroom. The team had the opportunity to observe a Practical Work School-based Assessment (SBA) lesson at our partnership school, Fanling Kau Yan College. This interactive session was conducted by one of our proud alumni, Mr Esmond Luk, who graduated from our Faculty 5 years ago.
This enlightening observation aimed to equip our future educators with hands-on experience and knowledge in planning and executing SBA. This initiative not only boosts our student teachers' workplace readiness but also enhances their professionalism. But that's not all! It was a heartening sight to witness the camaraderie and brotherhood among our students as they learned and grew together.
At Faculty of Education, we believe in bridging theories into practice, and this activity perfectly encapsulates our ethos. Stay tuned for more updates on our unique teaching experiences.

In light of the surging fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EDB announced the ‘Arrangement of Special Vacation in 2021/22 School Year’ on 28 Feb 2022 that all schools were to start the special vacation by 17 March 2022 connecting the Easter Holiday.
Under the ‘Special Vacation’, all KGs, local Primary Schools and Secondary Schools would be closed in March and April 2022. To keep up with our student teachers’ learning momentum and spirits, and to effectively adapt their teaching to changing contexts while serving the community at the same time, the Faculty of Education (School-University Partnerships) has collaborated with the HKU Admission Office and organized the following programme for the student-teachers to participate in on a voluntary basis.
“Enhance your CORE Online” for Secondary 4 and 5 HKDSE students
To provide extra help and academic support to local secondary school students whose studies are severely affected by the pandemic, the HKU Admission Office and our Faculty have jointly set up a programme of tutoring sessions - “Enhance your CORE Online” which were delivered in April 2022.
This new initiative is designed to help Secondary 4 and 5 students consolidate their knowledge in the three main core subjects - Chinese Language, English Language, and Mathematics – and to support them with their school assignments. The activity is free of charge and around 2,600 HKDSE students have signed up to attend each lesson. Nearly 30 students from the Faculty are committed to this programme.
To greet and encourage the participants, Professor A. Lin Goodwin, Dean; Dr Lo Yuen Yi, Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning); and Ms Promail Leung, Director of the School-University Partnerships Office, delivered their opening speeches at the beginning of the English, Chinese and Mathematics sessions (click here for the videos). The Faculty of Education greatly appreciate our students’ dedication in serving the community, and we would like to wish everyone good luck with their studies!
