Kindling The Sparks Of Next Generation

Standing in the frontline of education, Kenny witnesses the education inequity every day in the classroom, like students who live alone at this young age, and those who spend hours after school to do part-time and leave no time to study. “I never imagined this could happen to students in Hong Kong, which is quite different from my own learning experience” said Kenny. Apart from inequity, Kenny also witnesses the impact that education made on young people. Due to his business background, Kenny recognizes he can bring a diverse worldview and push students to envision beyond the campus. “Ultimately education is about telling them the world is huge.” he said, “They need to explore it by themselves.”.

“I think it takes different sectors’ resources to change education and society.” Kenny mentioned he probably wouldn’t stay in frontline education after Fellowship, even though he could do more. Instead, he endeavors to aid young students with his skills. Worked at Central for a couple of years, Kenny is equipped with the expertise and mindset of being a successful analyst entirely. “I am still keen to devote myself to the technology or business sector to bring connections and resources back for students.” Kenny used to deem technology as the key to efficiency and convenience. Nonetheless, after being a Fellow for a few months, he realized Ed Tech should not just be about how fancy the technology is, but rather about understanding the users’ true demands. “It is crucial to understand how I can utilize technology to fill in the gap and improve teaching and learning experience.” Kenny recognizes education technology is entailed to be human-centric, and this is exactly how an educator should be.
