The city will host a dedicated “Study in Hong Kong” week in February to showcase its strengths as an international education hub, education chief Christine Choi Yuk-lin said on Tuesday.
She was speaking at the fourth annual Hong Kong Principals’ Forum, organised by the South China Morning Post under the theme “Reimagining Tomorrow’s Success for the Next Generation”.
The event brought together around 300 primary and secondary school heads from across the Greater Bay Area to exchange insights on the future of education.

“The task force plans to roll out the publicity campaign, ‘Hong Kong: Your World-class Campus’, and we have dedicated February 23 to March 1, 2026, as the Study in Hong Kong week,” she said.
