Learning in different tongues

Breaking down barriers

Over the past 40 years, Choi, founder of 3e school, also chairman of the Hong Kong-based Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and Sunwah Group, has made continuous efforts to support the development of China's education sector, such as by establishing culture centers, setting up scholarships for universities and donating to scientific and technological institutes.

Gilbert Choy, CEO of Sunwah Education Foundation which runs 3e, says they aim to "educate a new generation of global citizens, diplomats and peacemakers" through providing them high-quality bilingual education in their early years.

"For instance, our Chinese graduates can explain what happens in China within the English cultural context and vice versa," says Choy.
