CityU celebrates 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to motherland, emphasizing unity and anticipation for new era
As we commemorate the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to the motherland, all sectors have united to actively participate in the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with the firm support of the nation and the innovative leadership of the Macao SAR Government. This encompasses the implementation of the “1+4” strategy for adequate economic diversification, which has led to the establishment of thriving initiatives that effectively demonstrate the successful application of Macao’s unique “one country, two systems” policy.
Since 2011, the Macao SAR Government has continuously supported and advanced educational development in Macao in accordance with the policies of “Macao Thrives on Education” and “Building Macao through Talent Training”. Higher education in Macao has made significant strides, with ongoing improvements in the quality and system of education. With productive accomplishments and invaluable experience, Macao’s higher education is shining on the international stage.
Benefiting from the nation’s generosity, the Macao SAR Government’s care, and support from various sectors, CityU has made steady progress with determination. The educational philosophy of “Macao Characteristics, China’s Soul, Global Vision” guides its dedication to the cultivation of high-quality, versatile professionals who are patriotic and fit the needs of Macao, the Greater Bay Area, and the nation. CityU prioritizes patriotic education in student growth, promoting a shared future with our motherland and growing with the Macao SAR and society. As we continue to write brilliant chapters on this new journey, we will instill a deep sense of national pride, uphold the fine tradition of love for the country and love for Macao, and reinforce cultural self-confidence.
