Principal Chan stated that establishing a quality HKDSE program in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area requires not only a precise grasp of the curriculum's essence but also the ability to leverage the local environment to enhance students' strengths. Thus, a comprehensive and forward-thinking curriculum is crucial. A good curriculum system must meet the needs of modern society, possess high academic value, and be recognized by students and parents.

ISA Liwan's HKDSE program emphasizes balanced development across multiple disciplines with a focus on English. Under the guidance of renowned teachers, the program begins with foundational knowledge in the first year or preparatory class, building a systematic knowledge framework and emphasizing time management and problem-solving techniques. The second year focuses on enabling students to apply learned concepts effectively. Additionally, the curriculum incorporates IELTS exams, complementing English subjects to assess students' progress and improvement.

Principal Chan believes that future international talents need to possess various skills, including language proficiency, logical thinking, reflection, and communication. Schools should nurture and develop these abilities using appropriate methods, ensuring that every student's future can shine.

Beyond providing basic courses to meet students' HKDSE exam needs, ISA Liwan offers various subject exploration courses and diverse activities to develop learning skills, enhance comprehensive quality, and broaden international perspectives. 

Principal Chan plans to introduce English debate and current affairs observation courses from the next semester because "students need to learn to express themselves and empathize with others to develop friendly interpersonal and social skills."

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is witnessing a surge in educational openness, striving to build an "equitable, excellent, dynamic, innovative, open, and inclusive" educational system. This aims to enhance the role of education in developing technological and cultural centers, creating a high ground for education and talent, and providing strong support for the development of the Greater Bay Area. 

The HKDSE curriculum, which integrates international educational concepts, has been widely recognized by 600 international universities, including Cambridge and Yale, as well as 138 domestic Double First-Class universities. In addition, the HKDSE is also recognized as an admission requirement by higher education institutions in the Macau Special Administrative Region.

Principal Chan has an in-depth understanding of the higher education landscape in the Greater Bay Area and unique insights into students' pathways to higher education. During his tenure as a school principal in Hong Kong, he actively encouraged Hong Kong students to step out of their comfort zones and pursue higher education at top universities in the Mainland of China.

Such forward-thinking not only reflects in planning diverse pathways for students' higher education but also in actively building solid bridges for educational exchange between Guangzhou and Hong Kong.

The HKDSE curriculum emphasizes the development of students' comprehensive literacy and critical thinking skills. Therefore, our teaching team must not only have solid subject knowledge but also guide students to think independently and solve problems.

ISA Liwan has established a friendly partnership with Hong Kong G.T (Ellen Yeung) College, one of the top ten IB schools globally with outstanding DSE academic performance, and signed a sister school agreement. Through continuous exchange and learning, excellent teachers from Guangzhou and Hong Kong deeply understand the essence of the HKDSE curriculum and flexibly integrate it into daily teaching.

Currently, ISA Liwan's HKDSE international curriculum teaching team is composed of the ISA High School Elite Teaching Team, the ISA DSE Teaching Team, and the Hong Kong Research Team, combining the educational advantages of the Greater Bay Area to provide strong support for students to achieve high scores. 

Additionally, for the challenging English subject in the HKDSE curriculum, the school's local and foreign English teachers, with their rich teaching experience and immersive English learning environment, offer high-quality teaching resources for students.

Principal Chan firmly believes that with the support of a high-quality teaching team, ISA Liwan can fully leverage the advantages of the HKDSE curriculum to cultivate more outstanding students with international perspectives and comprehensive qualities.

Principal Chan emphasized that educational innovation is the key driver of educational development. The traditional "teacher lectures, students listen" model can no longer meet the needs of cultivating contemporary international talents. Therefore, innovative approaches are essential to improve teaching methods and quality to meet the demands of the new era.

Teachers should transition from traditional knowledge transmitters to guides and partners on students' learning journeys, continuously updating their knowledge and skills. At the same time, Principal Chan acknowledges the profound impact of internet technology on education and believes that modern technology should be fully utilized to drive educational innovation. 

For example, using artificial intelligence and big data tools to personalize student guidance and enhance teaching efficiency.

The main battleground for implementing quality curricula and the holistic education concept is the classroom. However, to ensure the quality of the learning process and make the learning method more acceptable and enjoyable for students, subject knowledge should be taught within the context of real-life situations.
