Amid these changes, the University of Macau (UM) has never stopped asking: What strategies of teaching and learning are most effective in nurturing graduates who can best meet the needs of the society? Prof. Fan Xitao, interim vice rector (academic affairs) and dean of the Faculty of Education, believes that society needs wellrounded people; and in order to nurture such well-rounded graduates, UM is extending teaching and learning beyond the classroom. “The social and economic transformations and diversification as well as the high demand for talent in Macao are what many people did not anticipate a decade ago,” says Prof. Fan. “Now, Macao has some resources. For instance, collaboration with its neighbouring regions has created room for economic diversification, and in the future, Macao should put more effort in developing advanced industries, such as health industry, and cultural and creative industries.” In fact, UM has already taken the first steps toward aiding Macao’s economic diversification; the Faculty of Health Sciences was established early this year, and preparations are underway to establish a Faculty of Design, which is expected to focus on those directions that are likely to have more direct and relevant impact on Macao’s economic development.“What kind of graduates do we need? That depends on which industries are most suited to the needs of Macao,” Prof. Fan says. 澳大代副校長(學術)兼教育學院院長范息濤 Prof. Fan Xitao, interim vice rector (academic affairs) and dean of the Faculty of Education UMAGAZINE ISSUE 10 46 專題故事.FEATURE
