Awards celebrate exceptional educators who inspire Canadian youth

OTTAWA, ON, June 12, 2024 /CNW/ – Educators help our kids and grandkids succeed. They provide students with the skills, tools and experiences they need to thrive in Canada’s innovation economy. That’s why celebrations like the Prime Minister’s Awards are so important.

Today, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, and the Honourable Jenna Sudds, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, on behalf of the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, announced that 69 of Canada’s top educators have received this year’s Prime Minister’s Awards. Award categories include Teaching Excellence; Teaching Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM); and Excellence in Early Childhood Education. Within these categories, awards were given at regional or national levels. These awards celebrate the educators who inspire young people to reflect, ask questions and challenge themselves.

This year holds special significance as it marks the 30th anniversary of the awards, carrying on the tradition of honouring educators who devote themselves to Canada’s next generation. Each award recipient has demonstrated creativity in their approach to education, inspiring both students and peers to strive for excellence.

Teachers help our kids reach their full potential. Celebrating our teachers is part of the federal government’s work to deliver fairness for every generation—including in classrooms. Through our new National School Food Program, we’re investing $1.1 billion to provide meals to 400,000 more kids every year, beyond those served by existing school food programs. This will mean peace of mind for parents and healthy meals for kids—helping them learn, grow, and get the learning they need from their teachers. The program will also be a safety net for the kids who need this support the most.

Alongside this, we are supporting after-school learning, including mentorship and academic assistance, especially for Indigenous, low-income and at-risk youth. We are helping students from kindergarten to grade 12 acquire coding skills. And we are launching a new Child Care Expansion Loan Program to create more affordable child care spaces right across the country. We’re making sure our students, our educators and every generation get a fair chance to succeed.

Quotes

Canada’s educators are a lot more than just leaders in the classroom—they’re also incredible mentors, coaches, counsellors and supporters for our children and grandchildren. During my time as a teacher, and ever since, I’ve met so many teachers who dedicate their lives to inspire the next generation. Today, as we applaud the 2024 award recipients, we celebrate our educators, support their work and thank them for their contributions to making Canada even better.”
– The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

Canada’s famous education system starts with the early childhood educators and teachers who help kids learn, grow and ask questions. The 2024 Prime Minister’s Awards winners are inspiring curiosity in children and students, encouraging them to be creative and ambitious. Thank you for shaping a strong future for Canada.”
– The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry

“Early childhood education is an essential, demanding and extraordinary field that greatly benefits children, families and all of Canada. That’s why we are committed to building a system that values and recognizes the incredible and dedicated educators for the important role they play in supporting Canada’s future leaders. To all those we are celebrating today, thank you for everything you do, and congratulations!”
– The Honourable Jenna Sudds, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development

HONG KONG, Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On 9 January, Neusoft Education (09616.HK) announced that the Company’s English name will change from “Neusoft Education Technology Co. Limited” to “Neutech Group Limited”. The name change will take effect on the same day.

According to the announcement, the Company’s renaming to “Neutech Group Limited” better reflects its strategic transformation and upgrade, and more accurately demonstrates its five-in-one industry layout of “education-healthcare-wellness and mind tour”. This will establish a new corporate brand image and highlight the Company’s comprehensive strength in technological innovation and integrated development. Starting with the name change, the Company will focus on education and adapt to the aging economy, promoting the parallel development of academic education, continuing education, senior education, and resource output. This will create a business model of “education-assisted healthcare, education-assisted wellness, medical-care conversion, medical-education assistance, care-supported medicine, and care-education assistance”. Driven by technology and platform research and development, the company will achieve integrated development of education, medicine, care, health, and tourism, as well as efficient use of human, financial, and material resources. This will build a harmonious and inclusive “education + technology + medical care + health + tourism” prosperous ecosystem. It is expected to further enhance the Company’s brand reputation and industry influence, and support its sustainable development.

Neutech Group, as a pioneer in the “education-healthcare-wellness and mind tour” ecosystem in China, successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 29 September 2020, becoming the “first stock of IT higher education” (stock code: 9616.HK). With the broad market opportunities brought by the aging population and the positive support of policies for the development of the elderly care industry, the Company leverages its innovative research and development capabilities in “education + technology + medical care” to build a new ecosystem of integrated development of ” education-healthcare-wellness and mind tour”.

In the education technology business sector, the Company will retain the main body of ” Neusoft Education Group” and continue to operate academic education, continuing education, and resource output businesses. Based on IT innovation education, the Company will further develop the “digital media” and “medical care” fields, build an integrated ecosystem of “education-healthcare-wellness”, and consolidate the core competitiveness of education technology in the future. The Company will also establish a characteristic product and service system based on the 4S model, providing first-class platforms, resources, models, and management services to governments, universities, hospitals, and health care institutions, continuously empowering partners’ reform and development.

In the elderly education and elderly care technology business sector, following the concept of “Elderly care starts with prevention, education drives elderly care, and technology empowers elderly care”, the Company has deeply developed elderly education through Neuedu Phoenix Academy and created a unique “LIFECARES” model of integrated elderly education with “leisure, care, medical services, education, and integration”. Using top-notch medical and care services and platform services to empower the elderly to live a happy life, the Company is building a dream university for active seniors. In addition, the Company will strengthen the training of elderly care service personnel by creating a one-stop industry chain of “university training + training + intern + human resource services”. On the other hand, the Company will build a medical and care technology operation service model, create an elderly care solution industrial ecosystem through the output of overall smart elderly care solutions and elderly care technology products and services, and achieve mutually beneficial cooperation with ecological partners.

In the medical and health care service sector, the Company integrates customer management service systems to provide intelligent medical and elderly care information solutions, and create a “medical care and elderly care” integrated development system with treatment-based medical institutions, rehabilitation-based nursing institutions, and care-based elderly care institutions. Its subsidiaries, Ruikang Cardiovascular Hospital, Dalian Ruikang Zhuomei Stomatology Hospital Co., Ltd., and Wecare Family Nursing Home, have been put into operation.

In the wellness tourism sector, targeting energetic seniors, the Company integrates tourism, education, and elderly care into one, with a focus on “leisure learning, slow travel, and peaceful living”. Through the concept of “study-travel-care”, seniors can experience a variety of dimensions of “learning-travel-care” in their travel and learning process, creating a comprehensive elderly education model that provides opportunities for art experiences, promotes physical and mental relaxation, enhances cultural literacy, and expands social interaction.

In addition, the Company expands its industrial management and service sector, with the vision of building a better life and using technology to empower intelligent logistics. It explores diverse, characteristic, and value-added service models to meet the diverse needs of internal and external customers, continuously expanding its brand reputation and social influence.

With its keen market insight and deep accumulation of industry and education resources, Neutech Group Limited actively embraces the development of the silver-haired economy, timely enters new tracks, and improves its position in the industrial ecosystem. Now, the Group’s new layout of “education-healthcare-wellness and mind tour ” has been formed, which not only helps to create a new growth curve but also continuously expands new development margins, moving towards becoming a leader in the development of the “education-healthcare-wellness and mind tour” ecosystem.
