Our Vision and Mission
Bringing education equity requires policy, practice, and culture changes, which requires people to exercise leadership from inside and outside the system.
Teaching is leadership. Teachers do not just deliver classroom content, they bring positivity and hope to their students and school. They are sensitive to social and educational challenges and dedicated to serving as leaders to empower their students to become confident and responsible individuals who contribute positively to society.
With this foundation, our Alumni continue to work inside and outside the education sector to improve access to quality education for all students and effect systemic changes in Hong Kong’s education.
