The University of Hong Kong is the highest institution with the longest history in Hong Kong and has also cultivated a large number of professionals in economics, politics and culture.
Under the new governance of good governance and good governance, the University of Hong Kong should strengthen the political research role of its policy think tank, and should also study why the idea of "Hong Kong independence" appeared in the University of Hong Kong?
Li Jiachao's government team needs a lot of research resources to cooperate. There is no problem with the University of Hong Kong participating in the international rankings, but long-term resources should be allocated to support Hong Kong's political policy research.
Improving the social ecology of Hong Kong through academics is the most basic social and political responsibility of the university. Except for the medical school, which is relatively close to the society, most of the colleges of the University of Hong Kong are far from the ground. They only focus on academic papers and lack active leadership in the society. .
They took some government research funds to do some individual project research, and did not set up long-term research projects.
For example, in terms of the Basic Law and the political system, does the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong need to take a stronger lead, study various situations arising from common law and mainland law under one country, two systems, and create a legal foundation?
To solve the housing problem, should the School of Architecture set up a research center or research platform led by applied policy?
In terms of conservation, we should learn from Singapore, which has a more complete cultural and historical research system and talent training program.
The University of Hong Kong is a very large institution. It only needs to devote 10% of its resources to promoting this kind of policy research, which will bring great help. Moreover, it should attract people from all walks of life to participate in these policy researches.
These policy studies can eventually be turned into courses, making HKU’s courses more “localized”.
In the process of absorption, it can lead to stronger applied research.
The University of Hong Kong is now ranked 21 in the world, but if a university ranked 21 cannot solve the local problem of Hong Kong, is this ranking useful?

The University of Hong Kong is now ranked 21 in the world, but if a university ranked 21 cannot solve the local problem of Hong Kong, is this ranking useful?
What is the value of this ranking value?
Many universities in Germany do not participate in the rankings, but they have a great effect on society, and the mainland is also promoting not participating in the ranking method dominated by the United Kingdom and the United States, but focusing on teaching well, not by publishing papers to improve rankings, but Build real strength that can do things for society.
Universities in Japan and South Korea often participate in government policy research, and the same is true in the mainland. The Academy of Social Sciences and other colleges and universities have long-term research courses. For example, is there a special purpose for the study of Hong Kong history?
How many educational resources are there?
HKU should have a long-term plan.
The University of Hong Kong has a long history, and the Center for Asian Studies has rich resources on contemporary Chinese history, which can also be used as a good material for primary and secondary schools.
There is also a Department of Education in the University of Hong Kong. How can this Department of Education improve the quality of teachers?
How can I do more applied research?
How can teachers and principals have a solid platform for research and further education?
There are many things that HKU can do, but if HKU only concentrates its resources on international rankings and ignores applied research, policy research and talent training, HKU needs to rethink.
The most important thing is that Harvard University has a Kennedy School of Government. Why can’t the University of Hong Kong set up a high-end civil service college, like the Lee Kuan Yew Public Policy Research Center in Singapore and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, combining academics with practical political policy experience.
Policy talents need to combine academic wisdom, political acumen and organizational skills, so cultivating governance talents must be a team.
There needs to be a division of labor within the team, and HKU can be a good place to improve Hong Kong's governance capabilities and cultivate political talents.
