Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU) has received a generous donation of HK$4 million from Tin Ka Ping Foundation (the Foundation) to continue supporting the “Tin Ka Ping Foundation Bursary” for inmates pursuing further education. The donation will also promote the future development of the “Tin Ka Ping Centre of Chinese Culture” (TKPCCC). This donation aims to further advance education for inmates while fostering the integration of traditional culture and modern technology, thereby contributing to the inheritance of Chinese culture. It marks the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the TKPCCC.
HKMU President Prof. Paul Lam Kwan-sing expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the Foundation's generous donation and its unwavering support for inmate education over nearly three decades. He added that it aligns with HKMU's commitment to providing continuous education and access to higher education for inmates, helping them rebuild positive values. He praised the Foundation as a role model for society, saying, “We are grateful to the Foundation for consistently providing resources and support to inmates, enabling them to pursue and complete their courses, which facilitates their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.”
Prof. Lam also highlighted the Foundation's tireless efforts to promote Chinese culture and its collaboration with the University to nurture future talent with cultural confidence and a sense of social responsibility.
Mr Tin Wing-sin, Chairman of Tin Ka Ping Foundation, expressed his recognition and support for HKMU's educational philosophy, especially its efforts to provide education for inmates and promote traditional Chinese virtues. He said, “We firmly believe that the future of China lies in education and are committed to promoting education to enhance students' self-esteem and confidence.” Over the years, Mr Tin has been a strong advocate for inmate education, with the vision of benefiting more students and empowering them to live with dignity.
The Foundation has continued the charitable legacy of the late Dr Tin Ka-ping by advancing education to enhance national qualities, with a particular emphasis on moral education. Mr Tin said he hoped that this donation would support the development of HKMU, drive educational and cultural advancement, and contribute to the well-being of the community and its future.
Earlier, Prof. Lam, together with Prof. Ricky Kwok Yu-kwong, Vice President (Research and Institutional Advancement), and Ms Zenobia Chia Hoi-ka, Director of Development and Alumni Affairs, visited the Foundation. They met with Mr Tin Wing-sin; Dr Yuen Pong-yiu, Executive Chairman of the Foundation; Mr Tin Hing-sin, Director of the Foundation; and Mr Bryan Tin Lap-yan, Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation to discuss the latest collaborations and future developments.
Since 1996, the Foundation has contributed to the University's bursary scheme to support inmate education, cumulatively funding over 500 inmates in their pursuit of higher education and disbursing more than HK$3.3 million in bursaries. In gratitude for the Foundation's longstanding support, the University earlier named the scheme the “Tin Ka Ping Foundation Bursary”. To continue this benevolent work, the Foundation donated another HK$1.5 million this year. This donation is expected to benefit 150 to 200 inmates over the next three years, supporting their studies in programmes provided by HKMU.
To mark the 10th anniversary of the “Tin Ka Ping Centre of Chinese Culture”, the Foundation donated HK$2.5 million to support the Centre's development over the next three years. The funding will promote cultural activities that integrate Chinese culture with the creative arts and general education, aiming to inspire young students' interest in these subjects. Additionally, HKMU plans to establish a Chinese culture resource database and learning platform to foster deeper understanding and appreciation of the core values of Chinese culture among the younger generation.
The Tin Ka Ping Foundation, established by the late Dr Tin Ka-ping in 1982, has been dedicated to promoting education and cultural development for decades. The Foundation has generously supported the University in various areas, including academic exchange, cultural heritage and education for disadvantaged communities. In 2015, the Foundation donated funds to establish the “Tin Ka Ping Centre of Chinese Culture”, which regularly organises talks and cultural activities to cultivate a greater understanding of, and interest in, Chinese culture among staff, students and the wider community.
HKMU has evolved into an all-round, comprehensive university offering a wide range of academic programmes, primarily in full-time and face-to-face mode, including bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. At the same time, it remains committed to upholding its mission as a pioneer in distance education. For the past 35 years, it has provided higher education to inmates and remains the only university in Hong Kong that offers distance learning degree programmes for inmates.
