C-for-Chinese@JC Introduction

Enhancing ethnic minority children’s Chinese Proficiency for a better start

“C-for-Chinese@JC” is a Trust-Initiated Project created and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, and co-created by three local universities and two non-governmental organisations.
