Our Cause

In Hong Kong's status quo, the availability of educational opportunities for students to realize and reach their potential is heavily dependent on factors out of their control, such as their socio-economic status and ethnicity. We believe opportunities to receive quality education and gain life experience should be available to all. Every student should have the means and freedom to develop their talents and reap the fruition of their giftedness and ambition.

Furthermore, a large and concerning proportion of local students still feel lost without a clear goal or meaning in life after 10+ years of education in Asia's top metropolis. We believe this is not simply a matter of inexperience or immaturity but reflects that the curricula in Hong Kong’s primary, secondary, and tertiary education promote a culture of regurgitation and an imbalanced emphasis on hard knowledge and exam techniques. We believe that the mode and assessment of learning in many schools should be improved and complemented with promoting the development of soft skills. This equips students with the tools and confidence in using their innate gifts and learning to orient themselves early in life.

Our Mission

Founded with empathy and a deep understanding of the challenges associated with effecting institutional change, EdQuity Hong Kong recognizes that true social transformation must begin at the local level. Our mission is to mobilize capable and passionate young individuals to provide additional support to primary and secondary school students while engaging in dialogues and actions to improve education and reduce inequities at the grassroots level.

Through our free-of-charge initiatives, such as one-on-one mentorships, design thinking workshops, interactive forums on career and life planning, and discussion-based learning sessions, we not only encourage students to excel academically but, more importantly, to develop a passion for utilizing their experiences, talents, and knowledge to uplift those facing educational disparities. EdQuity Hong Kong has become a vibrant hub where students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, values, and age groups come together, sharing a common passion to voice their opinions and take meaningful action. Ultimately, we aim to nurture young individuals capable of original thinking, articulate expression, and significant contributions towards reducing education inequity in Hong Kong.

Our Vision

Our vision is to foster equitable education opportunities for all demographics, recognizing that social progress starts with individuals and their growth through education. We are particularly dedicated to instilling a positive learning mindset in the youth of Hong Kong, as we believe that early experiences shape lifelong attitudes. Our ultimate goal is to create a future where everyone has an equal chance to realize, develop, and unleash their full potential.

Our strategic objectives

Empower Youths

Raise Public Awareness

We are deeply committed to empowering youths to become catalysts for change within the education system. By nurturing their leadership abilities, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, we equip them to advocate for systemic improvements and contribute to the transformation of Hong Kong's education system. Through youth empowerment, we are not only shaping the lives of individuals but also paving the way for a more equitable, student-centered, and forward-thinking education system for all.

We believe that every student, regardless of their background, deserves the chance to pursue quality education and reach their full potential. Through our efforts, we aim to create a society where equal access to education opportunities is not just a privilege, but a fundamental right.

They guide our efforts and drive us to make a meaningful impact on the educational landscape in Hong Kong.

Improve Accessibility of Educational Opportunities

We understand that lasting change requires collective action and a shared commitment to addressing educational inequities. By raising public awareness about the challenges faced by students and young adults in accessing quality education, we strive to ignite a sense of urgency and inspire individuals to get involved. By engaging in open dialogues, advocacy campaigns, and community initiatives, we aim to create a society that values education as a catalyst for positive transformation. Through increased public awareness, we foster a collective responsibility to champion educational equity and ensure a brighter future for generations to come.
