As the world continues to change at an accelerated rate, we need new ideas and solutions to prepare for a more uncertain future. The HK prize aims to find and support changemakers with a vision for the future of education, through its two award fields—Education Research and Education Development. The winning changemakers will receive HK$30 million (approximately US$3.8 million) each, half of which is an unrestricted project fund to support their work and scale their solutions globally.
The winner of the HK prize will be announced at a ceremony in 2025. Until then, you can join the discussion on our Facebook page or submit your idea here.
