The Education University of Hong Kong has announced that its president, Stephen Cheung, will not seek reappointment after his current term expires on August 31 next year.

In a statement, Cheung said: “It is my privilege to have worked with the council members, colleagues, students, alumni and supporters at different stages in making EdUHK what it is today."

The statement also quoted Council chairman Dr Wong Yau-kar as thanking Cheung for his leadership.

Wong said under Cheung’s stewardship, the university "has made great strides on many fronts, including academic development, research and knowledge transfer, university management, and campus infrastructure.”

Cheung has been president of the institution since 2013 when it was known as the Hong Kong Institute of Education. The institution was granted its university title in 2016.

The university says it will conduct a global search for a new president.
