In an exclusive interview with the South China Morning Post, Antony Chen, the founder of Protostar Education, shared his thoughts on the Hong Kong government's latest 2024 Policy Address, focusing on the key challenges facing the education sector and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Chen's insights were informed by his experience leading an education company during a time of rapid Chenge, as well as his close engagement with the SME community in Hong Kong.

With Hong Kong facing a declining birth rate and a reduction in the number of students enrolling in primary and secondary schools, the government has introduced several measures to attract more immigrant students, including the children of talented professionals relocating to the city, as well as international students coming directly to Hong Kong for education. Chen acknowledged that these initiatives are a positive step, but he believes further refinement is necessary to fully realize their potential.
