Fast-Tracking e-Learning Enablement Project

Project Summary for Shamshuipo Kaifong Welfare Association Primary School

Background of Shamshuipo Kaifong Welfare Association Primary School (SSPKW)

SSPKW is an aided primary school established in 1964 and is located at 88 Yu Chau Street in Sham Shui Po. CSS has 8 classes in 6 class levels, with a total of 250 students. It is a relatively small school servicing students from it neighborhood, which has the largest number of poverty families in Hong Kong. 

Challenge Ahead

School was lack of resources to promote eLearning. Luckily, it received a donation in 2012 to acquire 40 iPads to start its eLearning journey. With hardware in place, SSPKW’s next challenge was to equip teachers with the skills to leverage such hardware, in order to improve her students’ learning results.
