CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION主席序言 March 2022 saw a change of Chairmanship as I completed 9 years in the post of Chairman of the HKU SPACE Board of Directors as well as being a member of University Council. I would like to thank all the Board directors who served in that period as well as the 2 Directors of the School and their staff. When I commenced in 2013, the School was predicting potential deficits but in fact it has managed to achieve modest surpluses every year and is in a strong financial position. I have also been conscious that my first employment on graduation was with the University’s Department of Extra Mural Studies – the School’s predecessor, so it has been an added pleasure to chair its Board for the past 9 years. I hand over the baton at an interesting time as the School and the University consider the way forward in light of the government's reform of the Post-Secondary Colleges Ordinance (Cap 320) which will undoubtedly have an impact on the School’s full time operations in its Community College. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our full time and part time programmes for the past two years with students and teachers learning to adapt to online learning for some or even all of their studies. Our offerings in Mainland China have also been seriously disrupted by the Mainland’s zero Covid policies. Nevertheless, I am sure that the School will be able to surmount the challenges ahead and go from strength to strength. 本人作為香港大學專業進修學院董事局主席及香 港大學校務委員會委員的九年任期於2022年3 月屆滿,正式卸任董事局主席一職。我衷心感謝 各位董事局成員、兩任院長及同事在本人任期內 的支持。猶記得當我在2013年上任時,學院曾 預計可能會出現虧損,最後虧損情況沒有出現, 學院還在每一年錄得適度盈餘,成功維持穩健的 財政狀況。 我仍記得畢業後的首份工作就是任職於香港大學 校外課程部(學院的前身),有幸能夠在過去九 年擔任學院的董事局主席,對本人來說別具意 義。在本人卸任之際,適逢政府銳意改革《專上 學院條例》(第320章),香港大學附屬學院全日 制課程的運作無疑會受到影響,學院及港大為此 正慎重考慮未來的發展方向。 在過去兩年,受到2019冠狀病毒病疫情影響, 我們全日制和兼讀制課程的學生和教師都學習適 應以網上教學方式完成部分、甚至整個課程;我 們在中國內地的課程也受到內地清零政策嚴重影 響。雖然如此,即使未來充滿挑戰,我相信學院 定能跨越障礙,再創高峰。 Professor Edward K. Y. Chen 陳坤耀教授 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION 主席序言 As the Board of Directors had two Chairmen during 2021/22, it is considered appropriate for each to give some introductory remarks. 在2021/22年度,蒙陳坤耀教授及何立仁教授 先後領導董事局,故本年報特別邀請兩位主席 撰寫序言。 2

CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION主席序言 Professor Ian Holliday 何立仁教授 First of all, I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Professor Edward Chen, for his leadership and commitment to the School in the past 9 years. I would also like to thank the past Board directors and welcome the new and continuing directors from 2022 onwards. As Professor Chen states, the School faces challenges but I am sure the Director and his colleagues will be able to rise to these. I also hope that we can strengthen the School/ University bonds to mutual advantage in the coming years. HKU SPACE is charged with the University’s mission to extend lifelong learning opportunities to the wider community and the Board and I are committed to helping the School to achieve this. For 2021/22 the Board has noted a breakeven performance but if the unrealised loss on investments is excluded (and this reflects global volatility) then we can see a reasonable operational surplus in line with the School’s not for profit approach. We will hope for a calmer year ahead notwithstanding the many challenges on the horizon. 首先,我謹向前任主席陳坤耀教授致意,衷心感 謝他在過去九年對學院的領導和付出。我同時感 謝前任的董事局委員,並歡迎2022年新任及留 任委員。 正如陳教授所言,學院現正面臨挑戰,但我相信 院長及其同事定能克服難關。我亦希望學院在未 來能夠加強與港大的聯繫,為彼此締造更有利優 勢。香港大學專業進修學院以協助港大向廣大社 群開拓終身學習機會為使命,我與董事局將竭盡 所能協助學院達成願望。 董事局注意到學院在2021/22年度錄得收支平 衡,但若撇除投資上(因應全球波動而出現)的 未實現虧損,則可見合理營運盈餘,這與學院非 謀利方向相符。儘管前路充滿挑戰,我們仍然寄 望學院的收支狀況在來年更趨平穩。 3

CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION主席序言 HKU SPACE ORGANISATION CHART 香港大學專業進修學院組織架構 5

DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 Let me first add my appreciation of Professor Edward Chen as Board Chairman from 2013 - 2022. The School has profited from his advice and dedication. I warmly welcome Professor Ian Holliday and look forward to working with him. He is already familiar with HKU SPACE as a Board member and Chairman of the Board for Continuing and Professional Education and Lifelong Learning. His role as VicePresident and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning) will facilitate links with the University. The School’s performance in 2021/22 in operational terms was good. Our Community College numbers were strong again with increased numbers over 2020/21 and our part-time enrolment recovered once face to face classes could resume. Of course, our China operations continued to be challenging because of the Mainland’s zero Covid policy and this impacted enrolment as many classes had to be rearranged, often on multiple occasions. Nevertheless, we achieved a breakeven year and would have done better if not for “unrealised losses in investments”. We hope that global conditions improve in the coming year so that this item does not impact our Income and Expenditure account so severely in future. Two issues that have dominated our year of 2021/22 have been the covid outbreak and the Post-secondary Colleges Ordinance reform, Cap 320. We have welcomed the easing of pandemic restrictions which have enabled a return to classroom teaching, albeit with reduced capacity. In parallel we have invested in improved technologies in many of our classrooms so that teaching can take place in situ and remotely at the 首先,本人衷心感謝陳坤耀教授在2013至2022 年間擔任董事局主席,竭心盡力為學院提供了許 多寶貴意見。我同時歡迎何立仁教授成為新任董 事局主席,並熱切期待與他合作。何教授非常熟 悉學院事務,就任主席前已是董事局成員及持續 專業教育及終生學習委員會主席,服務學院多 年。何教授同時是港大副校長(教學),我相信學 院在他的領導下,將能加強與港大的聯繫。 學院在2021/22年度於營運方面取得佳績。香港 大學附屬學院成績斐然,學生人數比2020/21 年 度有所增加;兼讀制課程的報名數字在恢復面授 課堂後迅速回復。當然,我們在國內的營運仍然 受到內地清零抗疫政策影響而備受挑戰,報名人 數也因為不同原因引致的大量課堂改動而大受影 響。然而,我們仍能在本年度錄得收支平衡,若 撇除「投資上的未實現虧損」,學院的實際表現頗 佳。我們期望明年全球經濟環境好轉,讓我們的 收支帳目免受嚴重波及。 2021/22年的重要事項有二:新冠疫情持續蔓延; 《專上學院條例》(第320章)改革。 我們樂見防疫限制放寬,儘管人數上仍有限制, 但最要的是面授課堂得以恢復。同時,我們投放 了大量資源提升課室的科技設備,不少課室在升 級後可以同時進行即場和遙距教學。我們又為教 職員提供培訓,幫助他們有效使用zoom或其他 科技進行遙距授課。 Professor William K. M. Lee 李經文教授 DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR 院長回顧 6

DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 same time. We have also put in place training programmes for staff on teaching effectively at a distance using zoom or other technologies. For Cap 320, Government has clarified its intentions and it is now clear that it is the full-time courses for school leavers that is the focus. For HKU SPACE therefore it is the Community College but not its extensive part-time programmes. As we have made clear all along the decisions on how to progress with future arrangements on the Cap 320 reforms will be taken at the University level and we look forward to the issue being resolved in 2022/23. We have been pleased during 2021/22 to invest also in the facilities at the Island South Pokfulam campus where we have established a number of specialist laboratories in areas such as Aviation, Esports, Geotechnical Science, Big Data and Biomedical Science. These support our growing number of courses in these areas and we can now describe the campus as our ‘TechnoSPACE’. In addition, we have completed the purchase of the 5/F of 888 Lai Chi Kok Road as our new Kowloon West Learning Centre and are also taking out a lease on the 12/F as the new home of our College of Business and Finance. We expect to complete the fitting out of classrooms and office moves in the first half of 2022/23. This will be a welcome addition to our facilities in a popular area of Kowloon West. The Year 2021/22 has also seen some significant staff changes as a number of long serving senior staff have left the School. They included three of our Deputy Director level colleagues. Professor LS Chan, Deputy Director and Community College Principal. He is relocating to the United States and taking up a research post at Berkeley in earth science. LS has led the Community College with distinction since 2014. In particular he has greatly expanded the College network with secondary schools and this has contributed to the outstanding success in recruitment in recent years despite the decline in the secondary school cohort. He has also strengthened links with the University, especially in Science and led the College effectively during the protests and Covid to move teaching and learning online so as to maintain continuity for students. He will be missed. 至於第320章,政府已明言有關改革將針對以中 學畢業生為對象的全日制課程。就香港大學專業 進修學院而言,改革將關係香港大學附屬學院, 而不是多元化的兼讀制課程。正如我們一直所說, 有關第320章改革的未來安排,均由港大層面決 定。我們期待有關事宜能於2022/23年度得到圓 滿解決。 我們於2021/22年度斥資改善港島南薄扶林分校 的設施,建立數個為航空、電子競技、土力科學、 大數據及生物醫學等範疇而設的專門實驗室,以 支援我們在這些範疇日益增加的課程。現在,港 島南薄扶林分校已成為我們的「TechnoSPACE」。 此外,我們購入荔枝角道888號5樓作為全新 的九龍西教學中心,同時租用12樓作為金融商 業學院的新辦公室。我們預計可於2022/23上半 年度完成課室裝置和辦公室搬遷,讓我們在繁盛 的九龍西再添一所設備完善的教學中心。 學院於2021/22年度出現重要人事變動,不少資 深高級職員相繼離職,包括三名常務副院長級別 的同事。常務副院長兼附屬學院校長陳龍生教授 自2014年起領導附屬學院,附屬學院在他的英 明領導下日益壯大。他現已移居美國,並在栢克 萊開展地球科學方面的研究工作。陳龍生教授擔 任附屬學院校長期間,積極擴展附屬學院與中學 的聯繫,讓附屬學院在面對近年中學畢業生人數 下跌的情況下,收生方面依然取得顯著成功。陳 教授又於在任時積極加強附屬學院與港大的聯 繫,在科學方面的合作尤其顯著。社會運動及新 冠疫情期間,陳教授成功帶領附屬學院轉向網上 教學,讓學生得以繼續學業。我們將銘記陳教授 的貢獻。 7

DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 His fellow Deputy Director, Professor Sonny Lo, would take over as Acting College Principal. Professor Lo had significant experience in the Education University transition to become a University in dealing with HKCAAVQ and this will stand the Community College in good stead in its transition to Cap 320. Also, Professor Liu Ning Rong, Head of ICB, decided not to extend his contract on expiry. He has been with the School for over 20 years and played a formative role in the establishment and success of ICB, BCC and QEC. He also effectively headed CBF and helped turn around its deficit situation in the mid 2010s. A Task Group to Review China Operations was established under the Deputy Director (Academic Services) to review our future directions in the light of our ambitions to develop sub-degree programmes in the GBA as well as the impact of the HKU Shenzhen campus for our Mainland China operations. Also Dr CL Chan, Chief Information Officer, would scale down his attachment to the School but will continue to involve in some projects in a fractional capacity. Dr TM Kwong retired as Head of CHL but will continue in a fractional capacity and would be succeeded by Dr Danny Gittings as Acting Head. Both have contributed significantly in their areas and will be missed. Our involvement with other institutions continues to prosper. The joint venture with Po Leung Kuk, the HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho College (HPSHCC) continued to do well and saw increased enrolments compared to the previous year. Centennial College successfully taught out the last cohort of students admitted in 2018/19 and has, for now, completed its responsibilities. In terms of our overseas partners, with whom we offer degree programmes in Hong Kong, we managed to retain both full-time and part-time numbers at the same level as last year but, of course, with quarantine restrictions our partners were not able to visit to offer face to face teaching so this was offered via our local teachers, or on zoom, or via recorded lectures. 常務副院長盧兆興教授現正署任附屬學院校長。 盧教授曾參與教育大學升格成為大學的工作,相 信他與香港學術及職業資歷評審局合作的經驗, 定能幫助附屬學院應付第320章改革的挑戰。 中國商業學院院長劉寧榮教授亦已決定在約滿後 離職。劉教授服務學院超過20年,協助學院成 立及發展中國商業學院、香港大學專業進修學院 (北京)諮詢服務有限公司及香港大學專業進修學 院前海教育諮詢服務(深圳)有限公司。他亦曾 成功帶領金融商業學院在2010年代中期轉虧為 盈。學院已於常務副院長(學務)之下設立工作 小組以檢討學院在中國內地的營運和未來發展方 向,尤其專注於學院在大灣區發展副學位課程的 計劃,以及港大深圳分校對學院在中國內地營運 的影響。 此外,資訊主管陳真良博士將減少他在學院的工 作;人文及法律學院總監鄺子文博士榮休並由賈 廷思博士署任總監一職。陳博士及鄺博士在未來 仍會參與學院部分工作,他們在各自範疇貢獻良 多,我們將銘記於心。 我們繼續與其他機構合作無間。學院與保良局合 資的香港大學專業進修學院保良局何鴻燊社區書 院持續表現良好,報名人數較去年有所增長。至 於明德學院,隨着最後一批學生(於2018/19年 入學)畢業,也完成了它的使命。學院與海外夥 伴合作於香港開辦的課程方面,全日制與兼讀制 的收生數字與去年相若;當然,因為檢疫隔離限 制,我們的夥伴未能派員來港提供面授教學,而 改以本地教師、zoom或錄像課堂代替。 8

DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 As part of our commitment to quality enhancement, the School undergoes regular reviews of its activities. The report of the UGC QAC in 2019 suggested more international benchmarking be undertaken and so we commissioned an International Quality Review which reported very positively this year and concluded that HKU SPACE met all ten of the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality which are accepted across 49 countries in Europe. We will continue to measure ourselves against international standards and part of this is a biennial International Conference series on quality in transnational education which will next be held in March 2023 – hopefully physically rather than virtually and at our new Kowloon West Campus. Also looking forward to 2023, there will be the third quality audit of HKU by the UGC QAC which includes HKU SPACE. The audit theme is improvement and a key factor is the collection and use of data and the School has prepared its submission to the University with this in mind. This year we established a Quality Analytics Team in our Quality Assurance and Enhancement Unit to focus on how we collect and utilise the extensive data we hold on our students and their learning. During the year we have also began planning for a launch of Microcredentials. Such courses, in topical areas, have proved popular in the United States and Europe and are generally on a smaller scale than regular awards, usually of 6 to 9 credits with about 30 contact or study hours. We hope these will meet study needs for busy professionals or for general interest and each Microcredential will lead to a digital certificate. The scheme also allows for the credits achieved to be stacked towards a certificate or diploma award. We expect to launch the Microcredential scheme in early 2023. Many of these Microcredentials will be eligible for support from the Government’s Continuing Education Fund (CEF) and we continue to lead the sector in both the number of our CEF eligible course (over 2,000) and in having some 28% of the total offered. We were pleased to learn of the increase in the refundable amount to $25,000 and of the relaxation of age limits. We also look forward to the inclusion of online course content in the scheme. 學院一直致力透過定期檢討以提升學術質素。教 資會質保局於2019年發表的報告建議學院加 強國際基準參照方面的工作,我們遂於今年進 行了國際學術質素評審 (International Quality Review)並取得佳績。報告顯示,香港大學專業 進修學院完全符合歐洲高等教育區質素保證標準 及指引全部共十個評審範疇。有關標準和指引廣 為49個歐洲國家採納。 我們將繼續透過國際標準審視學院的學術質素。 作為國際基準參照工作的一部分,學院將於2023 年3月舉辦兩年一度的國際學術會議,探討跨國 教育質素。我們期望有關國際學術會議可於全新 九龍西分校實體舉行,而非以虛擬形式進行。 展望2023年,教資會質保局將對香港大學展開 第三輪質素核證工作,涵蓋香港大學專業進修學 院。核證主題是改進,而主要因素是數據收集和 運用;學院已參考相關主題和主要因素準備向港 大提交報告。另外,我們已在本年度於學術質素 保證及提升小組旗下設立學術質素分析小組,專 門分析學院如何收集及運用有關學生及其學習狀 況的資料。 我們已於本年開始計劃推出微證書。微證書課程 是針對特定範疇而設計,規模較普通學銜為小, 一般為6至9個學分、30個接觸或學習小時便 能完成,在美國及歐洲甚受歡迎。我們希望微證 書課程可以滿足忙碌的專業人士和一般學習者的 學習需要,學員完成課程後均可獲發電子證書。 微證書還可以容許學員累計學分,以獲取證書或 文憑學銜。我們期望於2023年初正式推出微證 書計劃。 大部分微證書課程都可以獲得政府持續進修基金 的資助。在持續進修基金課程方面,學院不論 在課程提供的數目(超過2,000個認可課程)還 是於整體市場的供應(約28%)上均獨佔鰲頭。 我們更樂見持續進修基金的發還金額獲提升至 $25,000,並放寬年齡限制。我們期望網上課程 在未來也能納入計劃。 9

DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 While there is much to anticipate for 2022/23, we should also recognise that 2021/22 has indeed been a busy year with many notable highlights. We were pleased to sign an MoU with ACT Genomics which will underpin development of more courses in this important area. We were also able to showcase all our programmes in the Open SPACE 2022 which was held both online and offline simultaneously. There was a particular emphasis on Fintech related courses as well as the Metaverse, and on wellness and health generally with pandemic related tips. Over 4,000 online viewers tuned in to each presentation of some 30 talks. Other events during the year included introducing our Tea studies programmes, Sport and Recreation partnerships with professional community partners and an introduction to ‘Smart City’ opportunities. We were also happy to help organise the 5th original Jewellery Design Competition for secondary schools via our Gem and Jewellery Alumni Association. The year 2021/22 also enabled us to celebrate the 20th Graduation Ceremony of our Community College at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium, a welcome return to a physical event for this memorable occasion with speeches from the Director, College Principal and our guest, Honorary Fellow Mr Lam Chiu Ying, former Director of the Hong Kong Observatory. The School was also recipient of the Sing Tao award for best Continuing Education provider for the 15th straight year and, for the 9th year in a row, the Reader’s Digest Platinum Award for Trusted Brand. We were pleased also to join with our Alumni Association in its regular ‘Alumni Week’ to promote interest in our programmes. In December 2021 we were also delighted to host ‘Rejoice Together’, a return of our annual music concert which showcased alumni and staff talent in musical skills. Whilst taking careful anti-pandemic measures in line with government advice, we were also active in organising series of talks on the fifth wave of Covid-19 and particularly on how Chinese Medicine and dietetics could help combat the outbreak. 在展望2022/23年的同時,我們亦不忘細數 2021/22年的矚目點滴。回顧2021/22實在是繁 忙及精彩的一年。 我們很榮幸與行動基因(ACT Genomics)簽訂備 忘錄,在這重要領域開拓更多課程。今年的開放 日Open SPACE 2022於線上線下同時舉行,向 公眾展示我們多元化的課程,並重點介紹金融科 技相關課程、元宇宙,以及身心健康與抗疫貼士。 開放日共舉辦逾30場講座,吸引超過4,000名 網上觀眾收看。本年的其他活動還包括推出茶藝 課程、與專業社區夥伴締結康體合作關係,以及 介紹「智慧城市」的機遇。 我們亦很高興透過學院的珠寶及寶石校友會,協 助舉辦第五屆全港中學生珠寶設計比賽。 香港大學附屬學院於2021/22年假伊利沙白體育 館實體舉辦第20屆畢業典禮,學院院長、附屬 學院校長及我們的嘉賓、榮譽院士兼香港天文台 前台長林超英先生蒞臨致辭祝賀,與師生一起歡 度如此值得紀念的時刻。 另外,學院很榮幸連續第15年獲得《星島日報》 「星鑽服務品牌―最佳持續進修教育學府」服務大 獎,以及連續第9年獲得《讀者文摘》「持續進修 機構類別信譽品牌白金獎」。我們又與校友會合 作,於「校友週」推廣學院課程。在2021年12月, 我們舉辦了名為「Rejoice Together」的週年音樂 會,讓校友及職員一展音樂才華。我們在嚴格遵 守政府指引和抗疫措施的同時,在2019冠狀病 毒病第五波疫情來襲時積極舉辦一系列講座,包 括指導市民如何運用中藥和食療抗疫。 10

DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 Our ICB and SEA colleagues also organised the 3rd Inno Valley competition which was the culmination of preliminary rounds in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The final comprised 12 projects and judges were drawn from Cyberport, Microsoft, Bain Capital, PwC, Amino Capital, Sequoia Capital and the Green Partnership for Industrial Parks for China. The competition resulted in 2 champions, a 1st and 2nd runner up as well as awards for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, ESG Excellence and for Prominence. We were also pleased to see the installation at ISP of our Aviation facilities including a mock up cabin and flight simulator laboratory, air traffic control simulation and an aircraft maintenance facility. We hope to help prepare students for the recovery of the industry. We were also delighted to present the annual long service awards ceremony where 83 staff completing 20, 15 and 10 years were recognised. To summarise, another busy year for the School with many notable events and achievements plus the prospect of change on the horizon for 2022/23 and beyond. 中國商業學院及企業研究院亦合辦了第三屆創新 創業大賽。大賽的初選環節於北京、上海、廣州 及深圳四地進行,經過一輪激烈角逐後,12個參 賽項目成功進入決賽。本屆大賽邀請了來自數碼 港、微軟、貝恩資本、普華永道、矽谷豐元創投、 紅杉資本及中國商務部國家級經濟技術開發區綠 色發展聯盟的專業投資人士擔任評委,最終產生 冠軍2名、亞軍1 名、季軍1 名,以及創新創業 獎、ESG卓越獎和最具人氣獎。 我們很高興在港島南薄扶林分校增建航空學設 施,包括模擬駕駛艙、飛機模擬客艙實驗室、空 中交通管制模擬設施及飛機維修實驗室,以幫助 學生迎接行業復甦做好準備。 學院又舉辦了長期服務獎頒獎典禮,共向83名 員工頒發20 年、15 年及10 年長期服務獎,以 茲嘉許。 總的來說,學院在過去一年忙碌而多彩,舉辦了 多個矚目活動並取得多項成就。我們預期學院在 2022/23年及未來將有多項改變,並已為此做好 準備。 11

DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 The School was pleased to establish its Fellowship awards in 2014. The School felt that it had become of a size and reputation that it would be appropriate to honour some of the many people involved in supporting continuing education and lifelong learning in Hong Kong, thus these awards complement those of the University. The criteria for the awards are as follows: • Long service which relates to good and excellent service with the School • Relationship with the School • Distinguished lifelong learners and contributions to lifelong learning. For the 2021 awards, the four Fellows well met one or more of these criteria. Mr Anthony KWOK Chong Mr Kwok is currently the Director (Professional Development) of Centaline Property Agency Limited and the Director of Centaline Training Institute.
