Providing affordable/free online courses for the underprivileged
The venture aims to offer affordable/free online courses to the underprivileged in Hong Kong.
The project will work to digitalise the existing offline course materials, which are mainly composed by professional educators at The University of Hong Kong and other education partners for the “EmpowerU Program”, for inclusion on the emerging online learning platform.
In addition, the project team plans to continue to expand the curriculum by engaging with stakeholders from different industries such as academia, NGOs and public bodies. The course curriculum will cover a wide range of topics, including basic technology, public health, law, business and finance and communication. It aims to provide the underprivileged with equal access to learning opportunities and thus to enhance social inclusion.
