Prof. Tam Man Kwan
The Founder of Man Kwan Education Fund

Words from the Founder

Everyone has the root of righteousness. Students are like seeds for which schools need to direct sunlight and air so that the righteous roots grow. We founded “Man Kwan Education Fund” for aiding wholehearted students with financial difficulties so that they can concentrate on their studying and also broaden their learning experiences. This is how we put our motto “All are educable” into practice.

The Fund will be distributed to students in forms of scholarship and learning vouchers. Hundreds of students are assisted every year by the Fund. To spread the fortune of the Fund, from this year on, the Fund will also benefit Primary 5 and Primary 6 students in the community. More juveniles can be nurtured with the utmost attention and develop their talents so that their self-confidence will be strengthened and courageous to face challenges.

We will continue to organise different types of courses and activities in the future for the enhancement of students’ diverse learning experiences. It is true that our concern, acceptance and respect matter to the growth of the young generation. We hope that we can work together to bring the potentials of every youngster, who will then work out a bright future, become the pillars of Hong Kong and reward our society.

Mr. Choi Chee Cheong, J.P.
(Former Secretary General of the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority)

Words from the Chairperson

“Man Kwan Education Fund” was co-founded by Professor Tam Man Kwan and the late Ms. Yung Lai Chun in 2000.   Both believe that young people should diversify their learning, build their self-confidence and equip themselves well to meet future challenges.  The mission of the Fund is to facilitate and encourage relevant young people to “Learn Beyond the Classroom”, explore the world and broaden their horizons, in a bid to help their personal growth and develop their sense of social responsibility and leadership skills.  The first Chairman of the Fund, the late Dr. Li Yuet Ting, former Director of Education, was passionate about education.  His wisdom and exemplary leadership skills have navigated the course of the Fund with significant contributions towards its development. 

Over the past 24 years, the Fund has supported over 1,000 primary and secondary students, enabling them to participate in various learning activities such as study tours, specialized research projects and extracurricular activities through different forms of award and funding.  We are deeply encouraged.  As the new Chairman, I will uphold the convictions of former Chairman and the two founders.  We will strive to promote the Fund’s initiatives, strengthen our support for students in need, seek new resources and partners with a view to enhancing the Fund’s capability, thereby benefiting more students.  

We are grateful for your support to “Man Kwan Education Fund” over the years. Together, let us strive to create a better learning environment for every student with aspirations.
