09 學院的成功在於「人」 這十年的路,從不缺少風雨。面對經濟周期、人口 老化及新冠疫情的衝擊,教育行業屢遇挑戰。然而, 李院長憑藉睿智與沉穩,不僅帶領學院跨越了荊棘, 更取得了驚人的發展。 學院成為全港提供最多副學位(每年收生逾17,000)、 持續進修基金課程(超過1,800門課程)、跨國教育 課程(約3,000名學生)的專上院校。學院每年服務 近六萬名學員,自創校至今累積了超過340萬的報 讀人次。但李院長在長期服務獎的典禮致辭中坦言: 「數字,並不是最能打動我的部分。」 他說:「真正打動我的,是這些數字所代表的每一個 『人』;是那些生活忙碌、肩負家庭與事業壓力,卻 依然選擇來上課的在職人士;是那些在中學文憑試 中失意,卻帶着希望來到我們這裏,並最終圓夢的 年輕人。」 對他而言,學員的進步與蛻變反映了教育的真正意 義;而無數在幕後謹守崗位、努力付出的同事,則 是學院能夠穩定前行、不斷創新的核心。 成就是共同的獎章 站在服務十周年的新起點上,他說:「這個獎項雖然 刻着我的名字,但它真正屬於支持我、與我並肩作 戰的在座每一位。我們一起走過最艱難的日子,也 在看不到出路的時候,一起尋找解決方法。」 李院長表示,最珍貴的,不是獎項本身,而是學院 所有同事同心協力後,共同擁有的那份成就感。 The success of the School lies in its people The path over the last decade has never been short of storms. Buffeted by economic cycles, an ageing population, and COVID-19, the education sector has faced challenge after challenge. Yet, with wisdom and steady leadership, Professor Lee has not only guided the School through the storms but also achieved remarkable growth. The School has become the largest provider in Hong Kong for sub-degree programmes (enrolling over 17,000 students annually), Continuing Education Fund (CEF) courses (offering over 1,800 courses), and transnational education programmes (serving around 3,000 students). The School serves close to 60,000 learners each year and has accumulated over 3.4 million course enrolments since its founding. Despite these achievements, Professor Lee candidly stated in his Long Service Awards speech: "Numbers are not the part that moves me the most." "The part that moves me is what those numbers represent," he explained, "individual learners with busy lives, family responsibilities and career pressures—who choose to study with us. And school leavers disappointed with the DSE results come to us with a hope to do better, and many do." To him, the transformation of learners reflect the true meaning of education, while the countless colleagues working hard behind the scenes form the core that allows the School to stride steadily forward and continue innovating. Achievement is a shared medal Standing at this new milestone of his tenth anniversary of service, he remarked: "This award may carry my name, but it reflects the people who have supported me and worked alongside me—through difficult times, and times when we had to find a way forward together." Professor Lee emphasised that the most precious element is not the award itself, but the collective sense of achievement that all colleagues share after striving together toward a common goal.
