Starting from the school year 2007/2008, Yan Chai has established 8 Elder Academies in our affiliated secondary and primary schools since the launching of this scheme. The Yan Chai Affiliated Elder Academy Management Committee is responsible for the coordination of the affiliated academies’ courses and activities. The Academies provide not only compulsory healthy courses, but also various interest classes, such as computer application, English, Mandarin, calligraphy, harmonica playing, Tai-chi, Chinese opera, bakery and etc. The courses are all well-received by the elders.
