School of Continuing Education student Heung Hoi-man (BEd in Early Childhood Education, Year 4) recently won the Gold Award in the 5th Outstanding Prospective Teachers Election jointly organised by the Hong Kong Prospective Teachers’ Association and the Hong Kong New Generation Cultural Association.

Hoi-man was surprised by her achievement, saying that the competition provided her with a great chance to exchange pedagogical views with industry leaders and peers. She considered the award a recognition of her efforts, and the best reward to her family for their unfailing support.

Hoi-man also expressed her gratitude to her lecturers. “They have been most generous in sharing their experience. My special thanks go to my dissertation supervisor Dr Janice Poon who offered me professional guidance and advice on my studies and the competition.”

In June, after she completes her internship, Hoi-man will attend the 2018 OMEP World Assembly and Conference in Prague in the Czech Republic. She plans to pursue further studies after gaining substantial teaching experience.
