The education sector in Hong Kong also attaches great importance to the cultivation of students’ spiritual qualities.

It should then absorb the outstanding culture of the West to form its own unique cultural heritage. In the process of continuously expanding cultural knowledge, students’ sense of independence and self-confidence will also be trained. Through a caring education model, students will continue to learn to reduce stress and ease their emotions while feeling the pressure.
