The Chief Executive's Policy Unit (CEPU) announced today it will support eight education-related research projects, involving total funding of about $5.6 million, under the Public Policy Research Funding Scheme (PPRFS) 2025-26.

With the Government striving to nurture future talent and promote Hong Kong's development as an international hub for high-calibre talent, the CEPU, in collaboration with the Education Bureau, launched an education-themed element to the PPRFS to support education-related research.

A total of 76 applications were received, and following the guidance of an Assessment Panel, the CEPU has chosen to support eight projects.

These cover various policy areas, including: efforts to attract and retain talent, with a view to promoting Hong Kong as an international education hub; facilitating collaboration between post-secondary institutions and the Greater Bay Area to deepen integration between industry and the academic and research sectors; promoting the development of vocational and professional education and training, and of universities of applied sciences, to create diversified career pathways for students; and exploring the positioning of the Northern Metropolis University Town to leverage its potential as an engine for the development of various industries in the bay area.
