大學教育資助委員會教學獎於2011年設立，旨在表彰卓越教學。獲獎者擔任大學教育資助委員會（教資會）的教學大使，負責在教資會轄下的高等教育機構中推廣優良教學實踐。
To further emphasise the importance of high-quality teaching and enhance the impact of the UGC Teaching Award, the UGC initiated the Hong Kong Teaching Excellence Alliance (HKTEA) in 2019 and provides regular funding to support its operation. The HKTEA cultivates a network enabling UGC Teaching Award Fellows to collectively play a sustained role in promoting teaching excellence in and beyond the UGC sector.
