Recently, Mr. Qian Gang, the new Deputy Director of the Tongxiang United Front Work Department, visited Yew Wah International Education School of Tongxiang (YWIES Tongxiang), accompanied by Mr. Shan Wenyu, Member of the Party Working Committee of the Tongxiang Economic Development Zone (Gaoqiao Street). Mr. Kevin Huai, General Manager of Shanghai Yew Wah Management Office, and Mr. Arthur Ip, Deputy School Business Manager of YWIES Tongxiang, represented the school and accompanied the delegation, engaging in in-depth discussions about the school’s current development and future plans. 

Deepening School-Local Collaboration to Promote Educational Development

During the visit, Mr. Qian Gang inspected the campus environment, teaching facilities, and curriculum offerings, gaining detailed insights into the school’s educational philosophy, faculty strength, and international education achievements. The school representatives introduced the 90-year history of Yew Chung Yew Wah Education Network and its core philosophy of "blending Eastern and Western education with a holistic approach," highlighting YWIES Tongxiang’s specific initiatives in promoting international education and supporting local talent development. 

Mr. Qian Gang expressed full affirmation of YWIES Tongxiang’s achievements. He emphasized that Tongxiang is actively advancing high-level opening-up and international urban development. As an international educational institution originating from Hong Kong, YWIES Tongxiang plays a significant role in introducing high-quality educational resources and promoting cultural exchanges between the two regions. He hopes the school will continue to serve as a bridge, deepening educational collaboration with Hong Kong and providing broader development platforms for students in Tongxiang and Zhejiang. 

Joining the Celebration: the Graduation Ceremony of "Solar Project 2025"

Following the tour, Mr. Qian Gang and Mr. Shan Wenyu were invited to attend the graduation ceremony of RTHK’s "Solar Project 2025" held at YWIES Tongxiang.

As one of Hong Kong’s most influential youth programs, the "Solar Project" held its graduation ceremony outside of Hong Kong for the first time, marking a new stage of youth and cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and Zhejiang. During the event, young students showcased their talents and project presentations, demonstrating the innovation and global perspectives of the new generation. 

Expanding HKDSE Curriculum to Strengthen Ties with Hong Kong Resources

With the launch of the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) curriculum in the new academic year, YWIES Tongxiang will further deepen its collaboration with Hong Kong’s educational, cultural, and technological resources. The school will continue to introduce high-quality Hong Kong curriculum systems, university guidance and school-enterprise cooperation resources, providing students in Zhejiang with more diverse educational choices and broader development opportunities to help them step onto the global stage. 

Moving forward, YWIES Tongxiang will remain committed to its educational mission, leveraging the unique advantages of a Hong Kong-funded educational institution to promote in-depth collaboration between Tongxiang and Hong Kong in education, culture, technology, and other fields. The school aims to contribute significantly to enhancing the internationalization of regional education and supporting local economic and social development.
