Racial Inclusion in Schools
Racially Friendly Campus Recognition Scheme
The EOC launched the Racially Friendly Campus Recognition Scheme in 2022/23 for schools to spread awareness about the importance of racial equality and inclusion among the student and staff. Since its launch, 225 schools have participated, including 27 schools that have continuously participated in the Scheme for 3 years. In 2024/25, 133 schools were acknowledged as Racially Friendly Campus Champions. The Education Bureau has been a supporting organisation of the Scheme since 2023/24.

As the number of overseas and Mainland talents in Hong Kong continues to grow, the EOC believes that improving education on racial inclusivity in schools will create a friendlier environment for newcomers while better preparing the younger generation to thrive in an increasingly diverse society. This round, a total of 158 schools have supported and completed all the requirements under this scheme:
