The HKSAR Government released a new Policy Address last week, emphasising its ambition to drive digital education in Hong Kong. As a long-term strategic partner of the Education Bureau (EDB), Hong Kong Education City (EdCity) fully supports the government in advancing local digital education. The police will join hands with EDB, EdCity and Qianfan Technology to enhance the cybersecurity awareness and training among schools, educators and students.

Funded by a HK$500 million grant from the Quality Education Fund, the ‘e-Learning Ancillary Facilities Programme (eLAFP)’ was officially launched in June this year. A total of 22 projects have been approved, providing three years of support to publicly funded schools. Hong Kong Education City (EdCity), in collaboration with the HKPC Academy, co-organised the ‘EdTech Seminar’ on Friday, 12 September 2025, to showcase the latest project information to the educators.

Hong Kong Education City (EdCity), iFLYTEK, and Caritas Wu Cheng-chung College have co-launched the “Mind Station”, a pilot program designed to transform mental health support for students through AI technology. This initiative aims to harness an innovative psychological Ai model to offer personalized counselling, promote the use of AI in education, and boost students’ overall well-being. Witnessed by Dr Jeff Sze Chun Fai, JP, Under Secretary for Education, the three parties signed a Memorandum of Cooperation on July 7 at Caritas Wu Cheng-chung College, marking the official launch of the pilot program. The "Mind Station" offers students with a cozy, private and secure space for stress relief. Equipped with tablets featuring an AI psychological companion built on a large-scale psychological model, this space provides counseling services to help teenagers navigate mental health challenges effectively. Students from Caritas Wu Cheng-chung College will be the first to experience this initiative, allowing for a thorough evaluation of its effectiveness. Through the pilot program, EdCity is anticipated to explore the feasibility of adopting AI to enhance student well-being services. Ultimately, this initiative aspires to develop a sustainable operational model that can serve as a valuable reference for education sector, paving the way for seamless integration into schools and collectively advancing the landscape of digital education.
