HONG KONG, Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With the continuous development of the Greater Bay Area, data flow between Shenzhen and Hong Kong becomes increasingly frequent. Recently, WeBank Technology Services, in collaboration with Certizen Technology from Hong Kong, launched an innovative application in the education sector on the Shenzhen-Hong Kong cross-boundary data validation platform, supporting Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) in securely and efficiently verifying the educational information of students from Chinese mainland. This application not only facilitates relevant process for these students studying in Hong Kong, but can also support Hong Kong universities in optimizing the admission review processes and safeguarding academic integrity.
Instant Verification Improves Admission Review Efficiency
In recent years, the number of Chinese mainland students applying to Hong Kong universities has been on the rise. For graduate applications alone, Hong Kong universities receive tens of thousands of documents such as diplomas, degree certificates, and transcripts each year. While manual verification is time-consuming and prone to errors, there are also challenges that online cross-boundary data transmission faces, including the high compliance threshold for sensitive personal data and the lack of necessary digital infrastructure. There is an urgent need for an innovative solution to efficiently verify educational information while complying with regulations in both regions.
