Philanthropies fund projects and organisations to contribute to education. In 2020-21, The Hong Kong Jockey Club alone has invested $494 Million HKD in education projects.
Working in philanthropies, you will collaborate with diverse stakeholders in society, including Social Enterprises, Schools and Government Bodies, etc., to approve fundings, drive projects, and solve systemic issues in the long run.
For instance, philanthropies fund non-profit organisations’ daily operational and project expenses, contributing to education on a larger scale.
Social Enterprise bridges external resources and support to schools, students and teachers. There are currently 100+ SEs serving in the education sector.
Social Enterprises offer a wide range of contribution to education, including trainings, workshops, student-centric ECAs, direct donation of resources, etc.
Working in SEs consists of diverse roles, e.g. Program Management, Fundraising, Marketing. For instance, JustFeel and its Program staff delivers training for teachers, parents and students on effective socio-emotional communication; whilst marketing outreach forms partnership with organisations to make these impact happen in education.

Education Technology (EdTech) value adds to education by assisting in the forms of interactive learning platforms; students performance tracking, etc.
More and more corporates incorporates education with technology, solving pressing current education needs. Frontline education understanding and insights of students, teachers and parents’ difficulties are thus of immense importance and contribution to help design solutions that tackle actual issues.
For instance, EdTech platforms help teachers track students’ behaviours, reaction, and progress while attempting online homework and tasks contributes directly to teachers’ detailed understanding of students’ learning behaviour and patterns.
In the form of Boutique firms, or Management Consulting Firms, consulting plays a huge role in improving operational processes for educational institutions or companies.
