“All are educable” is not narrowly defined as being willing to teach weaker students, but also for those who cannot receive education because of different social reasons (economy, race, sex and disability). “All are educable” is also a belief in “everyone is capable”. Every student can be successful when sufficient learning chances and appropriate development spaces are provided. Students from basic-class family always have a great family burden. For this reason some of them even quit school and therefore some potential talents may lose. To implement our school motto “All are educable” and keep more talents for our society, Prof. Tam Man Kwan, an experienced educator, founded Man Kwan Education Fund (Fund) to provide financial support for students so that they can continue their study.
The founder Prof. Tam Man Kwan has been in the career of teaching for over 30 years. With his passion and enthusiasm, he has continuously established schools, participated in public services, published education-related work. Prof. Tam also has outstanding achievements in education policies, professional management and teaching, also the great contributions to education in Hong Kong and even to that in the mainland. The foundation of the Fund is the embodiment of Prof. Tam’s motto “All are educable”.
The Fund was founded in November 2000, a non-profit making funding under the management of Pak Kau College with the motto “All are educable” for supporting students with financial difficulties from Pak Kau Educational Organization Limited, QualiEd Educational Organization Limited and Eduyoung Educational Organization Limited. (Now named as Man Kwan Educational Organisation Limited). There are different items under the Fund to encourage students to diversify their development like Yung Lai Chun Scholarship and Boundless Education Scholarship. The Fund also includes Assistance for Extra-curriculum Activities and Study Tour Assistance to motivate students to actively join extra-curriculum activities.

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.

Words from the Chairperson
Our young people are the pillars of the future society. We believe that during the golden years of education, young people should focus on learning, actively build self-confidence, and equip themselves to meet future challenges. “Man Kwan Education Fund” is to help young people in Hong Kong break free from the geological and ideological shackles by encouraging students to learn outside the classroom, face the world and broaden their horizons, nurturing them to become talents. This is our mission and goal.
Over the years, in order to alleviate the financial constraints on students, we have rewarded and subsidized students to participate in learning activities in different forms, including study tours, project studies and extracurricular activities, etc., to enhance their learning opportunities and life experience, thereby cultivating their critical thinking and problem-solving ability, so that even in the face of a highly competitive society in the future, they can find their own path.
The “Man Kwan Education Fund” has been fortunate to have the support and active participation of caring philanthropists, enthusiasts, parents and students, who donate whatever they have, benefiting countless students. Although we actively promote public welfare undertakings, as far as society is concerned, the fund is just a small pile of sand in the desert, so what we hope most is to draw the attention of all walks of life, gather more resources, and create a wider, more ideal, and more equal learning platform for our future generations. With your support, we believe that one day, the sand will eventually become a pagoda.
