Arthur Kwok Cheung Li GBS JP (zh-t|t=李國章|s=李国章; born 1945 in Hong Kong with family roots in Heshan, Guangdong) was a member of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Secretary for Education and Manpower from August 2002 to June 2007. Before his appointment, Li was the Vice-Chancellor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, as well as:

* Professor of Surgery and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, CUHK
* Member of the Education Commission and Member of the Committee on Science and Technology
* Member of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority
* Member of the Hong Kong Medical Council
* Member of the University Grants Committee
* Member of the College of Surgeons of Hong Kong

* Member of the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation
* Member of the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute
* Vice-President of the Association of University Presidents of China
* Patron of the Royal College of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland
* Honorary Fellow of the American Surgical Association

An alumnus of St. Paul's Co-educational College and a classmate of Professor Lawrence J. Lau, Li received his medical training at the University of Cambridge. He was subsequently trained at Middlesex Hospital Medical School and Harvard Medical School, before returning to Hong Kong to become the founding chairman of the Department of Surgery and Dean of Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

His elder brother, David Li Kwok-po, is a non-official member of the Executive Council, member of the Legislative Council and chairman and CEO of the Bank of East Asia. He has two sons, Alexander Li Man-Ying born in 1977 and Peter Li Man-Chun born in 1979. Both graduated with first class honours from Cambridge University in Medical Sciences.

Political career

Li's tenure as Secretary for Education and Manpower was marked by an era of education reforms.

Since 2000, the Education and Manpower Bureau has implemented a number of mandates, which include making teachers spend more time with students outside the classroom, adding exams for subjects like English and history, and ordering that teachers take benchmark assessments to prove their language abilities. After instituting wide ranging changes, Li retired from public service in 2007.
