教大推動職業專業教育
2024年1月4日
為配合本地人才需求，響應特區政府施政報告提出的推廣職業專業教育與傳統學術教育雙軌並行的舉措，香港教育大學（教大）將積極與業界推動不同領域的職業專業教育，今日（1月4日）與國際教育認證聯盟（IAEA）簽訂合作協議，計劃未來為業界提供人才專業認證、協助策劃培訓課程，以及展開相關合作，實踐多元教育的新方向。
協議由教大的專業及職業教育與終身學習研究所（IPVELL）聯席執行所長甄沛豪博士，與IAEA創辦人兼執行主席李禮廷先生簽署。教大校長兼教育發展與創新學院院長李子建教授和國際美容健康總聯合會創會會長彭玉玲博士在場見證。
甄沛豪博士表示：「傳統學術教育及職業專業教育，同樣肩負著知識技能傳承和人才培養的重要任務。透過是次合作，我們期望能為本地職專教育開創新局面，長遠配合社會發展，提升人才競爭力。」甄博士表示，教大的IPVELL平台是開放的，歡迎其他專業協會和行業組織商討合作，共同推動香港的職業專業教育發展。
按合作協議框架，教大的IPVELL與IAEA將共同推動課程及持續專業發展，為學生提供多元學習機會，豐富專業經驗。雙方長遠計劃透過提供微型證書（micro-credentials）課程，鼓勵學生按興趣、能力及職業目標，修讀應用學習、專業及職業教育發展相關課程，參與不同訓練，持續進修，發揮所長。
出席儀式的還有僱員再培訓局行政總監吳國强先生及副行政總監（培訓服務）彭炳鴻先生、教育局資歷架構秘書處總經理黎英偉先生等。

To address the future development of Vocational and Professional Education and Training (VPET) in Hong Kong, The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) today (4 January) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The International Alliance for Education Accreditation (IAEA) to promote VPET by exploring professional accreditation mechanisms and curriculum development in this regard. This initiative echoes the government's strategy of promoting VPET as a parallel pathway to conventional academic education, as stated in its latest Policy Address.
The MoU was signed by Dr Patrick Yun Pui-ho, Executive Co-Director of the University’s Institute of Professional and Vocational Education and Lifelong Learning (IPVELL); and Mr Samson Lee Lai-ting, Founder and Executive Chairman of IAEA. The ceremony was witnessed by Professor John Lee Chi-Kin, President and Director of the Academy for Educational Development and Innovation of EdUHK, and Dr Carmen Pang Yuk-ling, Founding President of the International Beauty and Health General Union.
Dr Patrick Yun said, “Both conventional academic education and VPET bear the responsibility of transmitting knowledge and skills to nurture future talent. Through this collaboration, we aim to create new horizons for the vocational education landscape to cope with societal needs, while enhancing the competitiveness of our talent.” He added that IPVELL looked forward to working with different sectors and organisations for the VPET development of Hong Kong.
Under the agreement, both parties will jointly explore the development of VPET programmes, providing students with diverse learning opportunities and enriching their learning experiences . In the long run, micro-credentials courses may be offered to encourage students to pursue applied learning, professional development, and vocational education-related courses based on their interests, abilities and career goals.
Also attending the ceremony were Mr Byron Ng Kwok-keung, Executive Director of the Employees Retraining Board (ERB); Mr Patrick Pang, Deputy Executive Director (Training Services) of ERB; and Mr Steve Lai, General Manager of the Qualifications Framework Secretariat of the Education Bureau.
Mr Samson Lee said, “We hope this collaboration could encourage practitioners to pursue further learning at higher education institutions, fostering the development of VPET.”
