Benefits of Members, Associates and Friends

The Foundation enables our members, associates and friends to:

  • Get involved in sponsoring schools that match our educational ideals
    The Foundation has set up two schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme, both of which are now popular choices with parents. Some of our members participate actively in the work of the Foundation and the schools through our committee system.

  • Maintain a dialogue with educators, professionals, business executives and government officials on the best way forward in educating Hong Kong's next generation:
    The Foundation organizes forums, seminars and conferences to review local reforms in education and to discuss policy and developmental issues of major importance.

  • Participate in the collective efforts with partner organizations to contribute to the development of education in Hong Kong
    The Foundation collaborates with HKU, the Education Bureau, other educational institutions and business organizations to co-organize seminars and conferences, teacher development programmes, etc, and to help build a closer partnership between the education sector and the business/ professional sectors.

  • Keep abreast of the recent educational trends in Hong Kong and around the world
    You would receive regular informational materials, e.g., eNews, circulars and education articles, and get to know more about the pioneering experiences and best practices in education through participation in our seminars, conferences, school visits, and other activities.

If you are interested in any of these opportunities and are willing to contribute some time and effort to enhance local education, you are welcome to join as one of us.
