Spotlighting changemakers in education

Innovative ideas and practices in education have the power to change lives. As we welcome new laureates to our global community year after year, we see how their work reaffirms this belief.

 

At the Awards Ceremony, we celebrated our 2025 Yidan Prize laureates’ remarkable achievements in education research and development with the wider education community. We heard directly from the laureates, as well as our independent Judging Committee, on the solutions helping us build a better world, preceded by a gala performance from the Hong Kong Symphonic Pops with conductor Lio Kuokman.
