Dr Spencer A. Fowler, Principal of Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong (LPCUWC), is arriving in Dhaka tonight for a two-day visit to share insights into the college’s distinctive educational model and explore collaboration opportunities within Bangladesh’s education sector.

During his visit, Dr Fowler will meet with government officials, leading academics, parents of current Bangladeshi students, and members of the LPCUWC alumni association.

LPCUWC is a prestigious, fully residential pre-university boarding college and a member of the global United World College (UWC) movement.

“The IBDP is widely respected by leading universities globally for its academic rigour and its emphasis on developing intellectually curious, socially responsible young people,” said Dr Fowler.

“My visit to Dhaka reflects our commitment to engaging with education stakeholders in Bangladesh, a country with a rich talent pool and an ambitious educational vision.”

LPCUWC offers scholarships based on a combination of merit and financial need, with over 50 per cent of the student body receiving financial support. These opportunities are primarily accessed through the UWC National Committee system, and Dr Fowler encourages interested Bangladeshi students to connect with the UWC Bangladesh National Committee.

Established in 1992 as the second UWC in Asia, LPCUWC is situated on the serene outskirts of Ma On Shan Country Park in Wu Kai Sha, Hong Kong—less than an hour from the city centre.
