On July 22, 2025, following successful visits to several schools in Macao in June, the Centre for Chinese History and Culture of the University of Macau (hereinafter referred to as “the Centre”) continued to promote local educational cooperation. In July, Deputy Director Dr. Cheang Neng Ian, Principal Administrative Officer Ms. Leona Kuan, and Administrative Staff Ms. Stephenie Tong visited Escola Oficial Zheng Guanying, where they held constructive discussions with Principal Ms. Adelina Remédios, teacher Ms. Wan Sok Teng, and other school representatives.

Escola Oficial Zheng Guanying, named after a modern thinker, emphasizes the inheritance of Chinese culture and the cultivation of national sentiment, aligning closely with the Centre’s mission of “rooted in Macao and promoting Chinese culture.” Principal Adelina Remédios welcomed the Centre’s visit and shared relevant educational experiences.

The discussions focused on two major cooperation directions: the “Lecture Series” and “Teacher Training for Primary and Secondary Schools”. On one hand, both parties plan to jointly introduce high-level academic resources to design theme lectures tailored to student needs, inviting experts in Chinese history and culture from home and abroad to broaden students’ horizons and enhance their identification with Chinese civilization.On the other hand, both sides agreed that quality teaching staff is key to ensuring educational quality and fostering patriotism. The Centre will actively plan and organize professional training, workshops, and teaching resource development activities for this school and Macao teachers, focusing on improving teachers’ understanding of history curriculum standards, teaching materials, and the integration of national and local contexts.

Additionally, both parties highly affirmed the importance of adhering to the core values of “patriotism and love for Macao,” viewing it as the foundation of their cooperation. Deputy Director Dr. Cheang emphasized the Centre’s commitment to supporting Macao schools by cultivating the national sentiment of young people through knowledge transfer and cultural immersion. Principal Adelina praised the Centre’s academic resources as a strong support for the school’s cultural education practices.

This visit laid a solid foundation for deeper cooperation between both parties. They expressed intentions to refine plans and implement agreements as soon as possible, working together to cultivate a new generation of Macao talents who possess patriotism, cultural depth, and an international perspective.
