The Challenge
Education Inequity Undermines The Prosperity of Our City
While Hong Kong has one of the most developed education systems in the world, education inequity persists and is often overlooked. Education resources are unequally distributed along socioeconomic lines.
When a student’s socioeconomic background dictates their access to quality education and resources for pursuing alternative pathways, education no longer works as an important means for underprivileged students to achieve upward social mobility.
Our Vision
all Children in Hong Kong Have equal opportunity to learn, grow and realize their potential
Our Approach
We impact student while nurturing future leaders
Bringing education equity requires long term and sustainable solutions from all sectors. TFHK’s program aims to bring systemic changes over the long run while in the short run directly impacting underprivileged students.
We recruit diverse talents to enrich underprivileged students’ learning experience, both inside and outside of classrooms, and ultimately nurturing a community of proactive leaders using a four-stage model.
