Zhang Xiang: Cultivating talents should be given a good environment and space
Both Zhang Xiang and Zheng Guohan believe that when the government encourages the development of innovation and technology, it should leave room for universities and scholars.
For example, Zhang Xiang pointed out that more than 20 years ago, the government would not require scholars to explain what to study and what value it has. But a few years later, scholars’ inventions will contribute to society. To put it bluntly, "Unintentionally inserting willows and willows to create shade", cultivating talents should be given a good environment and space.
Zheng Guohan: Give school scholars the freedom to protect talent diversification
Zheng Guohan also agrees that many R&D and inventions start from interest and "explode first after a few years." Some scholars' research starts from abstract concepts and then develops to practicality. The society should give freedom to schools and scholars to ensure Diversified talents, "famous university research is not only for the local area, but for all mankind, for the advancement of science into a world."
Duan Chongzhi: Hong Kong needs to think about training "receiving people"
Duan Chongzhi said that the development of innovation and technology needs to emphasize ecology. Hong Kong has an elite of innovation and research, but local students rarely think about how to actually use the research results. He recommends starting with the curriculum so that students can understand the social market demand in the new economy and also Be able to apply what you have learned.
He also said that under the global economic transformation, Hong Kong has a certain foundation, but it needs to think about training "receivers": "The first one runs well, but the following may not be accepted. If the second one does not have a local enterprise, Don’t go out.” Considering that “local students are not enough, but there are not enough people outside.” It is recommended to study how to absorb non-local students who come to Hong Kong for further studies to stay in Hong Kong. “University is only for teaching people.” The government It can also study how to support the industrialization of innovation and technology.
Teng Jinguang: Many people dream of being overwhelmed by housing prices
Teng Jinguang believes that since he has been in Hong Kong for more than 20 years, he feels that land is a major problem in Hong Kong. Many students’ first consideration for survival is housing. Some people "dream of being overwhelmed by housing prices." If the government solves the land problem, Because land can promote industrial development, there is also room for scientific research.
There was a discussion on whether local universities should switch to Chinese instead of English as the main language of instruction.
Zheng Guohan said that the new generation of technology becomes fast, and the old knowledge is useless at any time. He believes that Lingnan's liberal arts teaching will be more effective in the future. He pointed out that English is the world language, not just because of the British colonial history. Fasten it properly".
Teng Jinguang also pointed out that it is normal for universities to maintain English as the main medium of instruction, while primary and secondary schools can discuss it again. In fact, many overseas universities all over the world want to teach in English in order to quickly grasp the latest developments in the world and academia. Hong Kong should Maintain this advantage.
