UM rector visits Hainan for exchanges
The Department of Education and Youth Affairs of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR and the Education and Youth Development Bureau of the Macao SAR Government arranged a delegation of Macao higher education leaders to visit Hainan Province for exchanges. Yonghua Song, rector of the University of Macau (UM), was one of the delegation leaders. The delegation was received by Feng Fei, secretary of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee and chairman of the Standing Committee of the Hainan Provincial People’s Congress. The two parties had discussions on promoting cooperation between higher education institutions in Macao and Hainan. Rector Song also visited several institutions in Hainan and attended a seminar on higher education exchange and cooperation between Macao and Hainan, where he exchanged ideas with about 20 higher education leaders.
Secretary Feng congratulated Macao on its development in higher education in recent years, especially the rapid development of UM. He highlighted the great potential for cooperation between higher education institutions in Hainan and Macao, especially in areas such as joint education programmes, training of tourism professionals, basic education, as well as emerging fields such as ‘big health’ and ocean technology. Rector Song expressed hope that the two sides will leverage the policy advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port to promote cooperation between Macao and mainland higher education institutions, and deepen their exchanges and cooperation in areas such as ‘education + tourism’, ‘big health’, and talent exchange, thereby providing intellectual support for the development of both places.
During the seminar on higher education exchange and cooperation between Macao and Hainan, Rector Song gave an overview of the development, academic exchanges, and talent cultivation of Macao’s higher education institutions, and highlighted the institutions’ advantages in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and their participation in international and regional higher education alliances. The delegation also included Ge Wei, vice rector of UM.
