Introduction
The ethnic minorities (EM) face language barrier in Hong Kong as the majority of them couldn’t communicate in Cantonese with the locals. Moreover, only a few of the EM students could proceed to the local universities and thus, our education team provide language classes, after-school primary and secondary tutorial classes and education system orientation for equipping them to face the challenges.
Our service purposes include:
-
Enhance the EM their language abilities for daily communication in Hong Kong.
-
Strengthen the EM students’ competitive power through enhancing their academic performance.
-
Develop their personal interests and potentials.

Education system orientation
Since many EM parents and students are not familiar with the education system in Hong Kong, our team always organizes education system orientation talks for them so that they would know more channels for seeking school places and educational opportunities.
