U of T partners with CUHK to start alumni on the path to lifelong learning

School of Continuing Studies

The University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies is pleased to expand its initiative of encouraging lifelong learning. This fall, the School of Continuing Studies signed a reciprocal agreement with The Chinese University of Hong Kong School of Continuing and Professional Studies providing graduates of either institution the opportunity to enrol in continuing education courses at substantial discounts.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong School of Continuing and Professional Studies will provide a credit of up to HKD$3,000 for any recent U of T graduate; the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies will provide a credit of up to CDN$600 for CUHK alumni. This program will continue through fall 2012. This collaboration is a natural fit since both schools share a strong commitment to providing lifelong learning that helps individuals, organizations and communities become more connected and successful.

"Lifelong learning is essential to success in contemporary society," says Marilynn Booth, Director, University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies. "Our intention is to be a world leader in developing and delivering lifelong learning that has the power to change lives. This can best be done with effective collaboration with other educators such as the Chinese University of Hong Kong. We share the goal of increasing our alumni's access to quality continuing education."

Victor Li, Director, The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, is also enthusiastic. "As the need for continuous learning increases it is imperative that, as educators, we are more responsive, more technologically progressive, and more collaborative. There has never been a more exciting time for lifelong learning. This partnership is at the leading edge of that change."
