education system since retrocession (the return of Hong Kong to China 1997).
Professor Poon received the Ph.D. in 1967 and the DSC (Doctor of Science) in chemistry in 1979, both from the University of London. He has been President of Hong Kong Polytechnic University since 1994. In that year, Hong Kong Polytechnic University -- formerly known as Hong Kong Polytechnic -- assumed full university status. In terms of student enrollment, it is now Hong Kong's largest institution of higher learning.
