"Education-plus" programme: Emerging Technologies and Future Career
Fund for Innovative Technology in Education (FITE)
About the Programme
What is “Education-Plus” Programme?
The key theme of the programme is fostering academia-industry collaboration for authentic learning experience.
The programme consists of four different components, including industrial seminars, hands-on workshops at industrial facilities, field visits at business facilities and schools, and symposiums on emerging technologies in education and beyond. Different industries/businesses will be invited as speakers to come on campus to share their practices of different emerging technologies to our students within or outside of formal courses.
It provides students with more opportunities to learn about emerging technologies in industries. It is beneficial to provide an impetus for all UGC-funded universities to harness innovative and breakthrough technologies such as generative AI, Web3, AR/VR, robotics and other emerging technologies in transforming teaching and learning, and in nurturing a digitally competent and technologically responsible generation, for the future success of our students in the digital economy.
