  "summary": "Leaders of top British universities have advised Hong Kong to move beyond institutional rankings as part of its “Study in Hong Kong” campaign. According to the South China Morning Post, these leaders warned that attracting and retaining premier overseas talent necessitates clear post-study visa pathways and career incentives backed by the government. The university leaders also contested the idea that artificial intelligence is devaluing higher education.\n\nIn a separate account, VnExpress International reports on Nguyen Dac Hieu, a former biotechnology student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, who has returned to Vietnam to teach biology at Lam Son High School for the Gifted. Hieu, a former International Biology Olympiad bronze medalist and former president of the Vietnamese Students’ Association in Hong Kong, stated his desire to bring new knowledge back to his community.",
