To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (IDERD) 2023, the Equal Opportunities Commission launched the Racially Friendly Campus Recognition Scheme for schools to spread awareness about the importance of racial equality and inclusion among students and staff community. A total of 60 primary and secondary schools have participated in the scheme:

Building on the success of the inaugural scheme, the scheme has expanded its scope in 2023/24 school year. In addition to fostering mutual respect and acceptance among people of different racial backgrounds, it also promotes inclusion of people from different regional cultures and places of origin, such as new immigrants to Hong Kong. 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:
