About Shi Tu Scheme

Launched in 2007, Shi-Tu Scheme (Scheme) has been very well received by the EdUHK community.

The primary aim of the Scheme serves, to promote the traditional Chinese virtue of respecting teachers and caring for students (敬師愛生) through close teacher-student (Shi-Tu) relationship.

From this, the Scheme has created innumerable opportunities for EdUHK students to learn commitment to teaching and ways of thinking (傳道授業) from the academic/teaching staff from EdUHK who act as mentors.

Throughout these years, it has groomed more than 500 students with the support from our dedicated teachers in the University.
