Abstract
The concept of “Visionary Edupreneur” was promulgated as one of the three professional roles of Principals in Hong Kong in 2018 by the Education Bureau, HKSARG. This concept is further spearheaded in the 2024 Policy Address on integrating vocational, professional education and training with the establishment of Universities of Applied Science.
In the sharing, the concept of “Visionary Edupreneur” is delineated with the authentic context of one elective course “Edu-preneurial Leadership in Continuing Professional Development for Career Advancement (thereafter the Course)” in the Master of Education, the University of Hong Kong. More specifically, there are three questions which would be discussed and explored in the seminar:
- How elements of design-thinking, experiential learning and social impact be integrated in the curriculum innovation of the Course?
- To what extent university teaching can exert its impact on industry-university partnership?
- To what extent university teaching can exert its impact on public policy formulation and implementation?
