He has worked for three decades at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) where he served as the founding dean of its Faculty of Education, a member of the university council and university senate, and the director of Hong Kong Institute of Educational Research. For his achievements in the field of education, Professor Lo has been appointed to honorary positions at forty universities and research academies.When he retired from the CUHK at 2013, he was Wei Lun Chair Professor of Educational Administration and Policy. With a wish to create a platform for international and inter-institutional collaboration for teacher studies, he joined the CTER as a Senior Research Fellow.

      

As a leading figure in teacher studies and school improvement in Chinese societies, Professor Lo has published numerous articles in the fields of teacher education, higher education, and comparative education. He has nurtured dozens of doctoral students who are teaching in major institutions of higher learning in China while constituting a noteworthy scholarly group for educational inquiry and development. The school improvement projects that Professor Lo initiated back in the late 1990s are now lauded as an effective force of change in schools. The impressive accumulation of grant moneys, which have amounted to over two hundred million Hong Kong dollars, serves as a testimony to the trust that schools, government agencies, and business enterprises all share in the efficacy of these projects.

 

Through the years, Professor Lo has been a staunch supporter of educational development in China. Aside from serving as mentor to numerous young scholars in the field of education, Professor Lo has also played a key role in facilitating the revival of teacher education in major normal universities in China. While spearheading a massive donation endeavor for the Hong Kong industrialist and philanthropist, Mr. Tian Jiabing, he has charted a course of action that guided donations to over thirty normal universities.
