Following China’s 2025 Two Sessions, PolyU gathered eight members from higher education at the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference for a sharing session in March. The event illuminated the spirit and key messages of the Two Sessions, highlighting the role of higher education in national development. Once again, the Dean of Student Talk Series offered valuable insights from the Two Sessions that deepened the understanding of the importance of collaboration between academia and government. By fostering open dialogue and exchanging ideas, these events empower students and the University to contribute meaningfully to societal growth.
The Dean of Students Talks Series 2024/25 titled “Spirit of the Two Sessions 2025 – Economy and Livelihood, Education for Talent, and Innovative Technology” drew over 100 members of the PolyU community.
