Policy Address 2025 | EDB to establish Task Force on Study in HK, roll out more activities of study tour

Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee delivered the 2025 Policy Address to the Legislative Council this morning (Sept. 17). He said that the EDB will establish the Task Force on Study in HK to step up the promotion of higher education in HK.

The Task Force brings together the University Grants Committee (UGC), the Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau (ITIB), the Hong Kong Talent Engage (HKTE), post-secondary institutions, ETOs, the Mainland Offices, etc.

Relevant measures include:

• Roll out the "Hong Kong: Your World-class Campus" large-scale publicity campaign to promote HK's quality resources in areas such as academic studies, scientific research, and international co-operation.
• Provide funding support of HK$40 million by the UGC for the eight funded universities to enhance publicity, as well as teacher and student recruitment overseas and in the Mainland. The EDB will also take the lead in encouraging post-secondary institutions to organise more summer study tours to attract non-local senior secondary school students.
• Encourage post-secondary institutions to roll out more high value-added "Study Tour in Hong Kong" activities to promote the "Study Tour in Hong Kong" brand.
