With a generous donation from the Edwin S. L. Cheng Research Fund for General Education and Philosophy, the Research Centre for General Education was established in 2005 under the Office of University General Education, The Chinese University. In 2011, it was renamed as the Baldwin Cheng Research Centre for General Education (BCRCGE). Since its establishment, BCRCGE is tailored purposely to assist in promoting the development of General Education in Chinese speaking areas and meeting the challenges of the 21st century. Apart from that, the BCRCGE’s brief is also to research important topics relating to General Education and organize related academic activities to promote exchange amongst tertiary institutions worldwide.
